First port of call: Oslo, Norway

The first port of call was Oslo, Norway. Oslo is the capital of Norway and has about 0.5 million people. The city is located on the northern most end of Oslofjord and is surrounded by waterways and islands.

As the ship departed the all of the ports, seagulls would follow hoping for something to fall off the buffet spread. Here one grabs a piece of bread from Beth's hand.

Step off Leo Decaprio: "I'm the king of the world!"
