Arrive in Oslo today and settle in before meeting your fellow travellers at a Welcome Dinner this evening at our hotel.
Today, visit Kistefos Sculpture Park, where a captivating blend of art, architecture and nature is on display. Begin your day strolling across lush grounds, where more than 50 striking, contemporary sculptures have been thoughtfully placed along forested paths and beside the tranquil Randselva River. Marvel at works by world-renowned artists, including Yayoi Kusama and Anish Kapoor. Then enter ’The Twist’, a breathtaking structure which is both bridge and sculpture. Within its stunning form, an art gallery of equally thought-provoking works is revealed. Pause for a delicious two-course lunch before returning to Oslo this afternoon. Enjoy an evening at leisure to explore as you choose.
Uncover Oslo’s vibrant spirit during a guided city tour. Pause for a photo opportunity before the striking edifice of the Nobel Peace Centre. Continue with a guided tour of the National Museum, Norway’s premier cultural institution. Look upon Edvard Munch’s iconic work, The Scream, which takes centre stage among an extraordinary collection spanning classical visual arts, contemporary works, design, and industrial arts. If you prefer to explore at your own pace, other nearby attractions include The Royal Palace and the immersive Viking Planet, which offer engaging alternatives (at own expense). Your Oslo adventure concludes this afternoon as you board the elegant MS Hebridean Sky, in preparation for your Baltic cruise.
