What To Expect

Oslo Fjord

Oslo is beautifully situated at the head of the Oslo Fjord (Oslofjorden in Norwegian) and is surrounded by forested hills. It’s a stunning city, and the best way to appreciate its beauty is on a relaxing sightseeing cruise.

On this two-hour tour, discover the scenery from a sightseeing boat. You’ll sail past numerous islands, including Hovedøya and the Dyna Lighthouse, through narrow inlets and into sheltered bays so that you can capture the capital on camera from different angles. We will pass the Opera House in Oslo, housing The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet ensemble. The spot has been named Kirsten Flagstads place 1 after the opera's first director Kirsten Flagstad place 1 after the opera's first director Kirsten Flagstad. It was designed by the architectural firm Snøhetta AS, which won an architectural competition in 2000.

The opera has been built to look like a glacier, and the main construction material is Italian carrara marble.

Akershus Castle and Fortress (Akershus Slott og Festning)

Up on the hill, on the left-hand side of the boat, you can see the Akershus fortress. It dated back to around 1300 AD and was originally built, by king Haakon V of Norway, as a medieval castle. In the first half of the 17th century, it was remodeled by King Christian IV of Norway and Denmark. He turned Akershus into a renaissance castle, which is the appearance it still has today. The outdoor areas of the fortress are open to the public, and by the fortress you can also find the Museum of Armed Forces, the Norwegian Resistance Museum, and the Royal Mausoleum.
From the fortress restaurant, which was originally built as a prison in 1836, you can also enjoy a front-row view over the Oslo fjord.

Leisurely big boat excursion with lots of others

A slow leisurely excursion out to Oslo Fjords on a big boat with many others. The boat was packed. The audio guide was very sparse, highlighting maybe 10 + things along the way. Would have been nice to learn more. Also he’d to hear sometimes do you crowd chatting. The teens found it too slow and boring, and the number of people on the boat a bit surprising. Otherwise it left and returned on time. Nice that they gave us blankets to stay warm.

Wait for summer

Weather was too cold to enjoy. It was 39 & drizzling. I’m sure it’s lovely in the summer. Captain and crew were not engaged with the guests. Felt there could have been a lot more history and facts shared. Most of the 2 hrs were spent in silence with the captain shielded from the elements behind a zipped canvas.
