In the interviews with the Dev they are saying that to lvl 20 Conan is singal player.
Has there been any word if this will be available offline?

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.
I think they stepped away from the offline idea and are merely making the first 20 levels solo-friendly.
Eurogamer: One of the most unusual things about the game is that you have a combination of multiplayer and singleplayer right up to level 20. How did the decision to do that come about, instead of having newbie zones like most MMO games do?
Ole Herbjornsen: I think that stemmed from the initial analysis that was done about five years ago. We wanted to know how we could make MMOs more mainstream, how we could increase interest and get new players to test it out. There were a lot more players playing single-player RPGs than there were playing MMOs.
I think at that time, the MMO market was much more hardcore than it is today - now we have much more casually oriented MMO titles than we had back then. That was part of the decision. We wanted to have an easy transition for offline MMO players.
Joel Bylos: Funcom is well known for its stories, and I think a part of the original design intention was to make sure that we were telling a real story in an MMO. A lot of MMOs tend to fail at that - we really wanted to tell a strong single-player story, and that thread runs the whole way through the game, not just from 1 to 20. If you follow the Destiny quests all the way through the game, you'll really feel the single-player experience very strongly.
This is a quote from Eurogamer interview posted today. You can check this thread for more info and the link to the interview
During the first 20 levels you will be able to toggle between night time and daytime modes. Daytime is online with other players, nighttime is online aswell; basically you are put in an instance by yourself.

Yep you are correct from what I have read, its between instanced nighttime mode andopen world daytime mode for the newbie area. All of it is still online connecting to the server though.

There is no "offline" part of the game. The first twenty levels are most likely there to give you an introduction to the game mechanics before you step into a world where everything could potentially be an enemy and eat you alive.
