Silversea Hotel used in OSLO

[lucky0518]

I am checking to see if anyone has any information on the hotel used by Silversea in OSLO.

I am planning to extend my stay beyond the night included in the package but cannot find the hotel used in the My Silversea site.

Thank you

Was hoping that someone else had more recent information, but...

 

In 2011 they used the Radisson Blu Scandinavia hotel in Oslo, before our Silver Explorer cruise. I have no idea if this is still accurate.

We're going in July 2023 and would appreciate info on hotel being currently used by Silversea. The agent told me Radisson Blu but did not say which one. Thank you.

In June 2022 SS put us up at the Raddison Blu airport location.  Our charter had just flown in from Tromso. Very convenient for a one night transfer.  Not a great location for touring the city though.  FWIW, in August of 2022 Seabourn put us up at The Oslo Grand. Beautiful historic hotel, but extremely noisy form the street and the rooftop bar that blasted club music till 3 a.m.

That works for our post-cruise night. The agent did mention in our itinerary that it states "walk to hotel" both pre and post cruise, so that would be airport location. Our original confirmation stated :

PRE-CRUISE HOTEL: SILVERSEA SIMPLY HOTEL ROOM TYPE: SILVERSEA GENERIC ROOM 7/11/2023 7/12/2023 Our Simply Hotel selection is the perfect choice for those who want a centrally located setting from which to discover - or rediscover - the city. Rooms in these 4 and 5-star properties are generally Standard Double or King rooms that provide comfortable accommodations and superior service for those who wish to extend their trip with a cultural or shopping experience in some of the world's most iconic cities. For your convenience, we can easily organize transfers between the airport and hotel or between the hotel and the pier so that you only have to decide how much or how little you wish to do. Examples of hotel brands that we consistently feature include Intercontinental, JW Marriott, Fairmont or the Conrad Group.

This description doesn't fit the airport Radisson. We're flying in 2 days early to spend some time in Oslo. I guess we can just book something in the city and then move to the Radisson the day before the cruise-not an ideal situation.

We spent some time in Oslo post cruise last August, and stayed in the city at The Thief (the thief.com).   We enjoyed the hotel and the location very much

Oops - the thief.com - no spaces!

It's always such a challenge trying to figure out where to stay pre and post cruise hotel if planning on a few extra days when SS provides a hotel stay. Sometimes we'll just bite the financial bullet and stay where we want to stay. Or, our TA will sometimes  make 2 reservations for us when we suspect we know what the "simply" hotel might be and if that is where we want to stay.  One reservation will  be for the days before the trip excluding the night Silversea supplies. The other reservation is for all the days pre/post cruise we want to stay.  Once Silversea announces the hotel, we can then decide which reservation we want to use.

 

As mentioned earlier we would most likely not stay at the Grand again. Would seriously consider The Thief as@brumagin1 mentioned. Great location on the warf!
