Fjord Cruise in Oslo

Enjoy the scenic Oslofjord on a sightseeing fjord cruise and get an overview of the city and its attractions.

On this fjord sightseeing tour, we pass through narrow sounds, idyllic bays, and through a maze of islands with small summer houses. Oslo, with its superb location, offers unique opportunities on and around its fjord which stretches almost into the city center.

Tour description

You’ll sail past numerous islands, including Hovedøya and the Dyna Lighthouse, through narrow inlets and into sheltered bays so that you can capture the capital on camera from different angles.

We will also sail past the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet House in Bjørvika in inner Oslo Fjord. The Opera House was designed by the architectural firm Snøhetta AS, which won an architectural competition in 2000. It was officially opened on 12 April 2008 and the building has received numerous international awards.

The boat also passes close to the peninsula of Bygdøy, housing many interesting museums as well as beaches such as Huk Bay. See the Maritime Museum with its veteran sailing ships moored outside, and the impressive Fram Museum, housing the polar ship of the same name.

This trip offers a great way to see the capital of Norway and get an overview of the city and all its attractions.

Norway Cruise Highlights

Norwegian fjords.

Nature buffs and adventure seekers can’t miss seeing the stunning Norwegian fjords during their cruise. Bergen is a great jumping-off point to see fjords like Hardangerfjord, the country’s second-largest fjord. UNESCO World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord is known as the “crown jewel” of the country’s fjords, contrasting steep waterfalls with snow-peaked mountain caps. Go slightly off-the-beaten path to neighboring Hjørundfjord, where activities like fjord fishing and kayaking will captivate you.

Art & History

Explore Oslo’s famous Viking Ship Museum and see three expertly preserved vessels. Spend a while at the Munch Museum, dedicated to the painter Edvard Munch, known best for his painting “The Scream.” In Bergen, Bryggens Museum is a mighty testament to life in the town before a devastating fire in 1955, where excavations uncovered beautiful reminders of everyday Norwegian life. Bergen is also home to its own art museum that uniquely preserves the homes of famous composers throughout history. Time travel at Sunnmøre Museum in Alesund, an open-air exhibit featuring preserved homes and boats dating back to medieval times.

Craft Breweries

Norway’s distilleries and craft microbrewing scene is rapidly growing in cities like Bergen and Alesund. After decades of mostly serving lagers, microbrewers around the country wanted to offer more variety for beer drinkers, so they started to brew their own IPAs, pale ales, and stouts. Ever since, Norway’s cities have brewed hundreds of their own unique drafts. Unwind after a day’s hike and try something new on the menu.

Featured Ports

Bergen, norway.

Rows of deep red, burnt orange, and white houses near Bryggen Wharf is one of the top sights in the city. Enjoy a romantic wharfside meal or a cozy coffee there before you visit Bryggens Museum or St. Mary’s Church. Ride a funicular rail to the summit of Mt. Fløyen for incredible panoramic views of the city below. Explore the surrounding fjords on an unforgettable kayaking or hiking adventure.

Alesund, Norway

On a Norway cruise, you’ll visit the picturesque town of Alesund, frequently cited as one of the country’s most beautiful places to visit. Spend a leisurely day exploring the Art Nouveau District. Hike up nearly 500 steps to Aksla Viewpoint and admire the stunning vistas of the archipelago and breathtaking fjords beyond. The town is also the gateway to Geirangerfjord, one of Norway’s most famous natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled between imposing cliffs on all sides.

Oslo, Norway

Let Oslo’s metropolitan atmosphere energize you as you explore its opulent palaces and incredible museums. The capital of Norway is teeming with Viking history, from ships dating back to the 9th century at the Viking Museum to 17th-century art at the National Museum. Art lovers won’t want to miss seeing Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in person. When you move on from historic wonders, grab a craft beer or sample local salmon at any of Oslo’s trendy eateries.

Norway Cruise Itineraries

Embark on an unforgettable cruise to Norway aboard Celebrity Silhouette or Celebrity Reflection. Sailing from May to August, our Norwegian fjord cruises last anywhere from seven nights to nine nights. Longer itineraries give you the chance to see towns like the mountainous Flam or the remote Geiranger.

On rare occasions, the northern lights can be visible over Borgund Stave Church in Norway.

Amidst verdant green valleys and rugged mountains lies a remarkable piece of cultural heritage at the heart of Norway. Dating back to the late 12th century, Borgund Stave Church is an architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time.

Constructed entirely from wood, the church is a monument to the exceptional creativity of medieval Norse craftsmen.

The iconic Borgund Stave Church in Lerdal Municipality in Vestland. Nrorway.

Although no longer used as an active place of worship following the construction of a modern replacement in 1868, the stave church offers visitors a rare detailed glimpse into the past. It provides a snapshot of a time when Old Norse beliefs still lingered in a Scandinavia that was undergoing rapid Christianization.

Stave Architecture

Borgund is a fantastic example of stave church architecture , a style unique to Northern Europe, characterized by its use of vertical wooden staves to support the structure.

Borgund Stave Church is one of the best preserved of Norway's remaining stave churches, and as such ... [+] is a wonderful example of the stave architectural style.

What sets Borgund apart is its remarkable state of preservation and the intricate detail of its design.

The exterior, adorned with elaborate carvings depicting dragon heads and Christian symbolism, reflects a fusion of pagan Norse and medieval Christian influences. Locals weren't quite ready to give up on the old ways.

Carved details on Borgund Stave Church show the Old Norse influence.

The interior, dimly lit by natural light filtering through small windows, contains original wooden pews and an altar that has witnessed centuries of worship.

Construction techniques are easier to understand from inside the church.

It’s well worth paying the entrance fee to enter the church, for its inside that you can truly appreciate the architectural style and the work that went into its construction.

A Rare Example

At the height of the Middle Ages, there were over a thousand stave churches in Norway. Today, fewer than 30 remain, with Borgund among the most visited. It’s not just the church itself that survived. Norway's sole surviving stave-built bell tower stands nearby.

The 12th-century church is surrounded by typical Norwegian fjord oountry landscape.

The survival of these churches is a remarkable feat, considering the vulnerability of their wooden structures to the elements and the ravages of time.

Meticulous maintenance and the dedication of generations who recognized its historical and cultural value were key in the church’s survival.

Exterior details on Borgund Stave Church.

An important moment in the church’s history took place in 1877, when it was purchased by Fortidsminneforeningen (the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments) in order to save it from demolition.

The ‘Modern’ Replacement

Next to the historic stave church, its 19th-century replacement serves the current religious needs of the community.

The new Borgund Church (left) was built in the 19th-century in order to preserve the historic stave ... [+] church (right).

The ‘new’ Borgund Church is an attraction in itself, thanks to its dragestil design and red color, providing a striking contrast to the older church and the green surroundings.

A Hiking Paradise

Those surroundings are a popular hiking destination among locals and tourists alike. The church is a feature on the historic 68-mile-long trail known as Kongevegen , or The King’s Road .

Vindhellavegen is a historic winding road across a mountain pass, part of The King’s Road near ... [+] Borgund Stave Church.

Once the most popular route to travel between the east and west of Norway, the King’s Road is today one of Europe's most beautiful cultural heritage routes.

Open daily between mid-April and mid-October, the church is easily accessible to visitors planning a road trip between Oslo and Bergen. Located in Lærdal municipality, Borgund is located just a few minutes off the main E16 highway.

It’s also less than a one-hour drive from Flåm, so visitors can pair a visit to the church with a ride on the Flåm Railway and an overnight stay in one of Norway’s most picturesque fjord villages.

Visitors are encouraged to explore the adjacent visitor center. It offers exhibitions on the history of Borgund and other stave churches in Norway, a cafe, and a souvenir shop.

Tickets ($12) to visit the church must be purchased at the visitor center. Numbers permitted to enter the church are limited, so you may have to wait a while at busy times. In high season, guided tours delve into its history, architecture, and the broader context of stave churches in medieval Norse society.
