The capital city of Norway, Oslo, lives up to its name as the "gateway to the polar regions." Most voyages to the Spitsbergen archipelago (Svalbard) begin here before flying into Longyearbyen. Oslo is also a popular port of departure for cruises to Iceland & Greenland. If you're looking for an adventure, you can't go wrong with a city tour of Oslo. At the heart of downtown lies Frogner Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe and home to the Vigeland Sculpture Park, which features hundreds of bronze and granite sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. Other notable attractions include the Opera House and the Nobel Peace Center. Tour the Viking Ship Museum, where you can see replicas of some of Norway's most famous voyages. Continue to Barcode-Skisenter for some downhill skiing or
snowboarding! Contact one of our Norwegian fjords cruise experts for a customized tour today.
