Oslo, Norway Cruise Port Day | Private Shore Excursion from Independence of the Seas
Copenhagen PortDenmark CountryNorway CountryRoyal Caribbean Cruise LineOslo PortIndependence of the Seas Cruise Ship
Oslo, Norway was our first port stop on this Independence of the Seas cruise, and we chose to do something different — a private shore excursion instead of a ship-sponsored tour. For this port day, we booked through Shore Excursions Group, a preferred supplier I use because they offer reliable options, smaller group sizes, and more flexibility than many cruise line excursions. In this video, you’ll see: • Meeting our private guide at the Oslo cruise port • Touring Oslo with a private chauffeur • Vigeland Sculpture Park (the world’s largest sculpture park by a single artist) • The Oslo Opera House — including walking on the roof • Oslo City Hall and the city center • Local food stops and shopping • The Holmenkollen Ski Jump and views over Oslo • What a full private excursion day actually feels like on a cruise We wanted a more relaxed, local-focused experience instead of a large, rushed tour — and this ended up being one of our favorite port days of the trip. If you’re planning a cruise to Norway and wondering whether a private shore excursion is worth it, this video gives you a real look at what that experience can be like. 👉 I can book Shore Excursions Group tours like this for you as part of my complimentary cruise planning services: https://getbyzach.com Watch Day 1 (Boarding Day): https://youtu.be/WMY5h0wpSFM Watch Day 2 (Sea Day): https://youtu.be/im8N28Bw3-A More ports and cruise days coming next — including Copenhagen, Denmark.
