Very nice Oslofjord tour
Gudrun P,,Feb 10, 2026

5.00A very nice round trip by sailing ship (motor drive) through the Oslo fjord. Since it was quite cold (February) enough seat skins, blankets and pillows were provided for the passengers. The existing radiant heaters were also switched on and you could buy drinks and snacks on board. Explanations of the sights were available in English from the tape. But also the staff was very nice and told on requests still some. I used the offered stopover on Museum Island, visited the Fram Museum and drove the rest of the way back to the port in the afternoon. I think this winter offer is great! A very nice ride I can only recommend!
Peaceful cruise around Oslofjord

5.00Lovely cruise when visiting Oslo! Peaceful cruise around Oslofjord, with snacks and a bar on the boat. Staff very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. There were actually only 3 of us on this cruise so it was quite nice! - lots of blankets available to keep us warm from the snowy weather. We got a complimentary hot chocolate with whipped cream which was really nice touch after braving the cold for 2hrs! Nice cruise to do if visiting Oslo.
Very Cold, but Very Enjoyable

5.00Really enjoyed the cruise. Easy to find in front of City Hall. The ship is open to the elements, but rugs, blankets and heaters are supplied, the ship also has a small drinks station onboard selling hot drinks and small snacks. The ship's host was very knowledgable, spoke excellent English and was very friendly. The two hours went by in no time, while the young host explained about the different around the fjord. Spolier alert: prepare yourselves for the end of the walrus story 😉... overall, a really enjoyable way to spend the morning in Oslo.
More research needed

2.00As this cruise was advertised as a fjords winter cruise I thought great let's give it a go. The cruise spent more time hugging the coastline around oslo's city than actually doing a fjords cruise. Not what I expected

4.00The Oslofjord is not a fjord as we know it from Norway. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful trip despite the freezing cold, passing sauna boats of ancient history and breathtaking nature. Oslo is always worth a visit. I can only recommend it.
A good boat tour

4.00The trip is fine, you are taken by Oslo Bay, there is not much information during the tour. The boat is relatively comfortable but nothing out of the ordinary. It seems to me that 2 ha is a long time ...should last at most an hour and a half
A relaxing trip

5.00A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours drifting silently around the fjord. Interesting information given as and when required. Drinks and food available on board We were lucky with the weather as the sun was shining but if you go this time of year make sure you have warm clothing as it does get quite chilly. Blankets are provided
