Oslofjord Cruise, Oslo

4.8 (5 reviews)

Overview

Cruise along Oslofjord on board a silent hybrid-electric boat while observing the area’s incredible scenery, wildlife, and city skyline. After departing from Aker Brygge, you’ll cruise by Oslo’s Akershus Fortress, Opera House, Hovedøya Island, and the famous lighthouse on a rock, Dyna Fyr. The city starts to fade as you enter the fjord, opening to lush islands, peaceful nature, and wildlife.

Observe the world below the surface with an underwater drone, where you can understand the complexities of fjord sealife. Then, with a marine biologist on board, you’ll learn more about the natural history of Oslofjord and important stories about the area’s wildlife. 

Observe the passing scenery from outside on an observation deck, or stay warm and cozy inside a heated cabin. You can still enjoy nature views inside, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

This cruise was an easy introduction to Oslo. It was very peaceful to view the city from the water. The tour guide's narrative was just right, informative while giving space to enjoy the cruise.

Tips for future travelers

The location of the boat departure is not the cruise office; we arrived early and were able to locate the correct pier.

The Silent Oslo Fjord Cruise was a beautiful experience, offering stunning views of the fjords. However, there were some pauses during the tour guide's explanations, and we wished for more information about the fjords and their history. Overall, it was a lovely cruise, but more detailed commentary would have enhanced the experience. Read more
