Destination

About Oslo

Oslo, Norway's capital, sits at the head of the Oslofjord, and its cruise ships berth right in the city. The Port of Oslo uses two cruise quays: Revierkaia, the main quay beside Akershus Fortress and the Bjorvika waterfront, which offers shore power, and Filipstad, west of Aker Brygge.

From Revierkaia the Opera House, the fortress, City Hall and the Karl Johans gate shopping street are within walking distance. Oslo Airport Gardermoen is about 50 km north, roughly 40 minutes by car, and the Flytoget airport express train links it with Oslo Central Station.
