Spend two hours cruising Oslofjord from City Hall Pier 4 on a quiet, zero-emission electric boat. An English audio guide explains Oslo’s landmarks, islands, and shoreline. Look for the Opera House, Munch Museum, Akershus Fortress, and City Hall, then ask the crew about the optional Bygdøy stop for nearby museums.

“Since Oslo was just a transit stop and not our main destination, I was honestly unsure whether to join this tour, but I’m really glad we did. Miraculously, it was sunny only during the time we were on board. Also, since it was an electric boat, there was none of the typical boat smell, which made it very comfortable.”

“We where very lucky with the weather. 24-25 Celsius, almost no wind and no clouds. The boat, a charming wooden sailboat (but they used the engine) gave a perfect atmosphere for the trip around the inner Oslofjord. The shrimp buffet, with white bread, butter, mayonnaise and a pile of shrimp on top...loved it! (you have to peal the shrimp yourself) The crew where polite, helpful and spreading good mood to us all. 5 star trip!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 170 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90

Meet at Rådhusbrygge 3 for a roughly three-hour evening sail around Oslofjord. You’ll pass the Opera House, Akershus Fortress, and small wooded islets aboard a traditional wooden boat. A simple buffet of Norwegian shrimp, bread, butter, lettuce, dill, lemon, and mayonnaise is served, with blankets available when the breeze turns cold.

“The trip was excellent, and the team on the boat was as well. The shrimp buffet was fresh and tasty, and the wine choice was good. Only one challenge. The first passengers occupy the tables. So if you have a family or large group of people who want to share the table, come a minimum of 30 minutes beforehand. I highly recommend spending the evening in the summertime.”
