Departing from the pier, your guide will provide a fascinating commentary as you pass Akershus Fortress and the Opera House.
You'll take a guided tour of Vigeland Sculpture Park, created and built by Gustav Vigeland. The park is home to 121 sculptured figures, including the landmark Monolith, fountain and bridge. Your guide will escort you through the park and explain the different sculptures and monuments along the way.
At the end of the park, your waiting coach will take you through the beautiful residential areas of Oslo. From the elevation of the Holmenkollen Hills, take in excellent views over parts of the city and Oslofjord.
Head to the Bygdøy Peninsula for a visit to the Maritime Museum, which houses the 9th-century Viking boat from the largest of the Gokstad Viking Ship Findings. There's also a wide range of Norwegian maritime cultural heritage items, including the country's oldest vessel believed to be 2,200 years old.
On the return drive to the pier, view Oslo's busy boat harbor.
