Sailing ship tour of Oslo Fjord

5.00I liked the sailing ship tour because it took place on an old sailing ship that looked well cared for. It was a partially cloudy day, which felt a bit chilly - I am guessing it was around 50* Fahrenhrit. I felt grateful for the overhead heaters and the blankets that were provided. The English speaking guide described the sights very well over the loud speaker, and I particularly liked learning the history of what we were seeing.
Enjoyable cruise

5.00Lovely said round the Oslo Fjiord. The commentary was excellent. The food and drink on board were plentiful. If you are looking to see the Fjiord on a nice boat with plenty of of room look no further

Cruising Oslo in the cold
Jerry H,May 14, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Pay close attention to the meeting place address. We had two cab drivers that took us to the wrong location. Make sure if you Uber or taxi to the location that you clearly tell the driver it is at Pier 3 across from City Hall. Because the cab drivers could not figure it out, we missed our 1:30 pm cruise. We called Viator who put us in touch with Adam at the ship dock. Adam was fantastic. He explained how to tell the cab driver to find him, our third try got us right there and Adam put us on the 3:30 cruise. We were the last to board. This sailing ship holds a lot of people but was still quite nice. The bar on board had lots of options. The cruise narrator was easy to understand and hear even in the wind. She pointed out lots of sites you won't see from land. We had a great time and would do it again. Especially with Adam there to assist with any problems.
Worthwhile ride with many great photo motifs

4.00Very nice tour in a wooden boat, 2 hours is just the right duration. Captain and crew helpful and friendly. Against the cold (air wind) there are blankets and skins, but still worth wearing warm and windproof clothes
Lovely boat trip!

5.00We took this boat trip as a group of four - they had good commentary onboard with lots of interesting facts about the area and we also enjoyed the lovely views from the boat. Onboard the boat there were blankets and heaters in the middle section to keep warm which was a nice touch as it did get chilly on the water! There was also a bar onboard and we had a few hot drinks during the trip. Would recommend for a nice trip out to see Oslo from a different perspective!
