Oslofjord
Oslo is beautifully situated at the head of the Oslo Fjord (Oslofjorden in Norwegian) and is surrounded by forested hills. It’s a stunning city, and the best way to appreciate its beauty is on a relaxing sightseeing cruise. On this two-hour tour, discover the scenery from a sightseeing boat. You’ll sail past numerous islands, including Hovedøya and the Dyna Lighthouse, through narrow inlets and into sheltered bays so that you can capture the capital on camera from different angles. We will pass the Opera House in Oslo, housing The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet ensemble. The spot has been named Kirsten Flagstads place 1 after the opera's first director Kirsten Flagstad place 1 after the opera's first director Kirsten Flagstad. It was designed by the architectural firm Snøhetta AS, which won an architectural competition in 2000.

Great trip
- Staff are friendly and really helpful. Agreed for me to move my booking to another day. - The boat is great with a bar onboard (that wasn't awfully priced) - My trip was relatively empty compared to the capacity. If the boat is full I suspect it could be quite a tight squeeze and force you to become friendly with those sharing a bench with you as it's 1 bench to 2 tables.

Great tour
The trip was really well ran, all the staff made you feel very welcome. There was lots of seating and blankets and cushioned provided for the trip. You can get of when it stops at the fram museum and get the afternoon ferry back which was really great to do.The weather was lovely which added to the experience and the information provided on the tour was really interesting. Great value highly recommend.

Great Fjords trip
A great trip to see the Fjords. Despite the wet and windy weather we really enjoyed the experience- heaters, throws and comfy rugs made the trip comfortable. Our guide was very informative and we would definitely recommend
via Tripadvisor
Not the best for viewing fjords
It was pretty chilly but they did have heaters, blankets, and tarps over the top so it was very comfortable. The biggest disappointment was that we just went in circles and just saw the beginning of the fjords, the same view as on shore.
via Tripadvisor
Fun!
Very nice, informative, and fun! If you’re going during the fall do make sure to bring a jacket and hat as it gets brisk out on the water! Would definitely do again.

2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.
How much does 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship cost?
+
Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oslo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oslo is not rushed.
Is 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 764 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oslo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship?
+
Around 267 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oslo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oslo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hour Oslo Fjord Sightseeing Cruise by Sailing Ship start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oslo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oslo?
+
On Outty we rank every Oslo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oslo Highlights Bike Tour, Oslo Nature Walks: Island hopping, Central Oslo Guided Walking Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oslo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oslo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
