Let's ChatIs it necessary to have a visa to visit Norway?
For travelers from European countries, Canada & the United States, Australia & New Zealand, a visa is not necessary. If you are traveling from another country, a visa will likely be necessary, and you should check with your country's state department for more information on travel requirements.
Is tipping customary in Norway?
Tipping isn't necessary, but if you enjoy good service in a restaurant, bar, or cafe, it is appreciated if you leave some spare change on the total. Gratuities are always a personal decision and we leave those up to travelers on their own terms.
What is the internet access like in Norway?
Throughout most of Norway and even in Svalbard (Spitsbergen) you will find that there is high-speed internet access via WiFi hotspots and cyber cafes. Of course, in open ocean on cruises and on the more remote sites of the northern tundra, you should not expect internet access.
Can I use my cell phone in Norway?
Mobile phones generally have good coverage in Norway’s developed areas if global roaming is activated with your carrier. In remote regions, service may be weak or unavailable.
Do I need a power adapter/ converter?
Norway uses 220-240V electricity with Type F sockets. You will need a power adapter compatible with Type C or Type E/F. If your devices cannot handle 220-240V, a step-down converter is also required.
Can I drink the water?
Unless otherwise indicated, it is safe to drink the tap water.
What is the most common way of paying for things in Norway?
The currency in Norway is the Krone. While it’s useful to have some cash for small vendors, most shops, hotels, and restaurants accept major credit cards. ATMs are widely available in cities, though they may be less common in remote or isolated areas.
Should I purchase travel insurance?
