Norway: Stavanger to Oslo

[Playtennis]

DW and I are taking the "Path of the Midnight Sun" cruise in August. Towards the end of the cruise we stop in Stavanger (10-6) and then Oslo. The scheduled arrival time in Oslo is 1 PM and we set sail at 9.

With most of the museums, etc closing no later than 6PM in Oslo, that arrival time cuts the site-seeing down dramatically.

There is an overnight train with sleeper berths that leave Stavanger about 10:45 and arrive in Oslo at 7:30.

Has anyone every done this? It would be our first time and wanted to find out if there are any things that we should be mindful of.

Thanks.

That sounds like a great idea. Not sure if there's any issue other than making sure the ship knows of your plans and that you're OK with the train accommodations/prices.

 

We took the long distance train from Oslo to Gothenburg and it was fine comfort-wise. I would imagine the sleeper trains would be the same if not better.
