YouTube Video Description

This port report is from Oslo Norway, where we sailed with Holland America Cruise Line. We cover the port basics and our experience touring this amazing city! We landed at Filipstadkaia, one of three docks (the others being Sondre Akershus / Vippetangen and Revierkai). We passed through the Aker Brygge complex and explored Vigeland Park (Gustav Vigeland’s amazing sculptures) and the Fram Museum at Bygdoy. We only touched on some of the great spots in a city famous for the Nobel Prize. Here’s the basic rundown!

We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing first-hand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count. Let us give you the Lowdown!
