FESTIVAL, OSLO

Why not supplement your voyage with a few peculiarly Norwegian festivals.

Our stopovers sometimes coincide with local festivals, of which Norway has some unique examples: there’s the Tahiti Festival, an outdoor opera called Donna Bacalao and the world’s biggest herring feast. Local communities may also organise weekend “welcome festivals” when the historical ship Christian Radich arrives.
