You can easily take a train into Oslo and do your touring. Brayden and I did that for one day in 2010. I do not recall the cost of the train ride. Think it was about 20 minutes maybe a bit less. If staying in Oslo for a bit Ngaire or others might have a suggestion for a hotel in the CBD which would be better for finding dinner places etc. One might for the last night go to the Radisson at the airport as it makes it so easy the next morning.

Really looking forward to this cruise. It is so much more than a cruise it is really an adventure. Zodiac , polar bears, walrus etc. so much fun. A great group also.

This is a year away and all of us are already putting things in place. Our friends do not understand why we have things set up so far in advance. It is the only way however.
