The cruise season has successfully started

Visitor record
2008 will result in all time high considering the number of passengers. About 210 000 tourists will arrive at Oslo port this year and 150 cruise ships, many of the biggest, will call from April to October. Experiences tell that on board, there will be guests from more than 130 nations.

Attractive capitol
The feedback from the survey done after the 2006 season, showed that the guests were very satisfied with their stay in Oslo. Both the port and the capitol did have the facilities required, but of more importance of course, the many interesting experiences the town could offer, attracted the visitors, both shopping, sightseeing, strolling through the city centre and all the cultural activities.

Oslo Opera House - Operahuset i Oslo

Welcome to our new opera house

On April 12 2008 one of the most spectacular opera houses in the world opened in Oslo.

The construction of the new opera house is the largest single cultural-political initiative in contemporary Norway. It took five years to build and the cost is estimated to 500 million Euros. The result is an extraordinary building in white marble with a roof surface that rises directly from beneath the fjord. The opera house is designed by the acknowledged Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta.
