5.00We really enjoyed this cruise around Oslo’s waterfront and fjord. The onboard staff were friendly and informative. There was a small bar onboard to buy snacks and drinks from. It was one of our favourite things we did in Oslo and well worth the money.
The owner was very rude....

1.00The owner was very rude. One of our group member was running late by 2 mins and we requested to wait for 2 mins and the response we got was very rude. I understand they cannot wait and are on schedule but politeness doesn’t cost anything. The boat was covered on sunny day and didn’t give the vibe we came for.
Great cue

4.00For a first taste of a cruise that takes you to see the fjords was certainly very interesting, although I would have preferred it to get closer to the coast at times, because things were almost unseen. Great idea for a next trip
Recommended sailing trip to get to know the Oslo Fjord a little better

4.00A really beautiful sailing ship with a very friendly crew. The space on deck was OK (fully booked, I assume). The buffet with crab (all you can eat) below deck met our expectations. The weather, which of course cannot be guaranteed, was perfect. My only criticism is the music selection from the loudspeaker (but that's a matter of taste). However, one would have expected at least some information about the surroundings we were sailing past. Unfortunately, there was nothing. That would also be a suggestion for improvement. All in all, I would definitely recommend it to friends, colleagues and relatives.
Don't miss it!

5.00This was very affordable and informational! Recommend for your first thing to do so you have a “lay of the land and sea”. It is easy to board and a small shop so not too many on the way excursion.
