Cruising the Oslo Fjord.

4.00The cruise itself was informative and we saw sights that the normal traveler might not see. The 2-hour time was perfect. However, while the old-style ship was interesting (we sat on top aft ship) we found the upkeep to be somewhat lacking. Chairs were broken and felt unsafe and there trash (cigarette butts, paper) strewn about the deck.
Fun Fjord Tour

4.00I had the chance to take the Oslo fjord sailing ship tour yesterday, and despite the damp and rainy weather, it was a wonderful experience. The crew made sure everyone was comfortable with plenty of covered seating and even provided cozy blankets to keep us warm. One of the highlights was enjoying a delicious cup of coffee with Baileys as we sailed past the beautiful scenery. The narration along the way was informative and engaging — I really appreciated learning about the different sites as we passed them, which made the experience both relaxing and educational. The atmosphere was made even more special with music played sporadically throughout the trip, adding a lovely touch to the journey…an interluden if you will. Even in less-than-perfect weather, the fjord was stunning, and being on a traditional-style sailing ship made it feel especially memorable. While the Ship did have masks and sales, we were under motor power the entire voyage. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oslo — it’s a fantastic way to see the city from a different perspective.
