5.00This was such a lovely cruise! The rain and gloomy weather did not detract from the experience at all! I'm so happy I went. It's a good way to see the city of Oslo from the fjords.

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
