Oslo, Norway Cruise Port Day | Private Shore Excursion from Independence of the Seas

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.
