You’ll spend 90 minutes aboard a modern electric ship sailing from Oslo Fjordhage around the inner Oslofjord. See Akershus Fortress, Bygdøy, Hovedøya, Gressholmen, and the Opera House from the water, with a free multilingual audio guide, Wi-Fi, a café-bar, and accessible decks.
“Great to see Oslo and surrounds from the water as night fell.”
Cruise Oslofjord for two hours on a quiet, zero-emission electric boat. See the Opera House, Munch Museum, City Hall, Akershus Fortress, and island communities through panoramic windows. Use the English audio guide, step outside for fresh air, or ask about the optional Bygdøy stop.
