Hop on board a spacious sailing vessel at the waterfront in Oslo and begin your adventure on the Oslo Fjord. Get comfortable on the boat which is equipped with a bathroom, warm blankets, snacks and drinks, and a service minded crew. The tour is guided, and you will therefore learn more about the islands, the fjord and the historic buildings we pass on the way.

Soak up views of the city's harbor and the lush green hills that frame the city. Capture pictures of landmarks from the water, like the ancient fortress of Akershus and the Opera House which has been awarded for its stunning contemporary architecture. On this round trip you will also see the Munch Museum, Kavringen Lighthouse, the museum island Bygdøy, the Astrup Fearnley Museum, and the new modern parts of the city called Sørenga and Tjuvholmen. Furthermore, you will see several charming Norwegian cottages and summer houses.

Guests will recieve information in English through the speakers on board. In addition to this, we have an app that tells you about the stops along the way. The app is available in the following 13 languages: English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, Chinese and Russian. You can find the app in the App Store and Google Play by searching for "Oslo Fjord Guide".

Mini Cruise is a popular activity for families and those who want a taste of the Oslo Fjord, while also wanting to spend time on other activities in Oslo. For example, we can recommend a trip to Bygdøy after the cruise, where you can visit the Fram Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum, the Maritime Museum and the Norwegian Heritage Museum. We can also recommend the popular beach Huk, if you want to go for a swim! Ferry tickets to Bygdøy can be bought from our kiosk on the same pier as the boat stops after the cruise.
