Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

Oslo Travel Guide

Oslo, the capital of Norway, is situated in the south of the country, surrounded by green hills and mountains.

The city is a hub for maritime trade in Europe, and is also the cultural, scientific, economic and centre of Norway.

Oslo has a rich and varied cultural life. Grand monumental buildings, great artists such as Edward Munch or Gustav Vigeland and wonderful music and literature are part of the positive image of the city.

The city is also a great place for exploring the history of the Vikings, the Viking age and the Viking ships, especially at the Viking Ship museum.

The culinary offerings of the city should also not be missed: several restaurants are Michelin star rated, and the Norwegian cuisine is varied and impresses with unusual specialties such as moose or reindeer meat.

One of the event highlights every year is the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize at the beginning of December.
