Here's a thought, maybe quickly discarded. Buy a 3-continent Oneworld Explorer business class RTW with the ticket starting in Norway. RTWs are priced very differently from one country to another (where the trip begins, not where you live) and a 3-continent business class "DONE3" ticket originating in Norway has a base price of £3840 compared to one starting in the UK with a base price of £5471. You can get (economy) from London to Oslo for under a hundred quid, so some obvious savings.
