Explanation:
The two answers already are beyond doubt correct.

Yet, truly for travel purpose, the English version will easily be understood wherever you go in Norway. We are a small country, and our language is not widely spread, we know this. Thus, there is not one place remotely dependent on tourism where English will not be understood. You can spice up your adventure by smaller and easier amounts of Norwegian, ie. "Takk" -> "Thank You" or "Hei" -> "Hello".
Enjoy your journey.
