Fjord Sightseeing Cruise
Description
Join us on a boat trip around the Oslo Fjord! You'll get to explore the breathtaking capital of Norway from a unique perspective, checking out all the essential spots in the city's beautiful surroundings.
Fjord Sightseeing Cruise
At the indicated time, we'll set off from pier 3 at the Ferry Terminal of Rådhusplassen, the City Hall square.
During a journey of approximately 2 hours on board the traditional Norwegian boat, we'll cruise around the waters that surround the port and explore the fjord of Oslo. You'll witness the breathtaking glacial landscapes.
From the deck of the boat, we'll see the avant-garde Oslo Opera House, the Akershus Fort, and the City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is held annually.
On our cruise, we'll also follow the peninsula of Bygdøy, known for the large number of museums that it houses. South of this, we'll encounter the Dyna Lighthouse, located on a tiny islet. We'll continue sailing around some of the islands of the fjord, such as Lindøya and Hovedøya, characterized by their green landscapes and the traditional, brightly colored houses.
We finish the tour by returning to the original departure point.
Itinerary in Winter
During the winter season, we'll sail alongside the Bygdøy museums on our way back to the Town Hall. You'll have the option to take the first boat at 10:30 am so that you can get off the boat and visit the Bygdøy museums for 2.5 hours before taking the next boat back to the Town Hall. Stops in Bygdøy are at 12:15 and 2:45 pm, but it's also possible to return by public bus.
Entrance fees to the museums are not included in the boat ticket.
