    This is a beautiful cruise tour. Don't let bad weather stop you. They provide cover, cushions and heat lamps. Nice!

    The shrimp still have their heads on- ewww. But the boat ride is beautiful. We had this booked for a very rainy and cold day. The pictures showed that this was at tables on an open boat. We were worried but they put up a cover, put seat cushions on the benches AND...they have heat lamps above you where you sit. I asked about rain cover ahead of time but the heat lamps were a fantastic touch-up one they should definitely mention. They also have adequate bathrooms- something good to know when you are cruising a fjord on a boat encouraging you to buy drinks. The scenery was spectacular. The crew very professional and unobtrusive. The weather made us really not want to go. So glad we kept our plans.

    A wonderful evening with...

    A wonderful evening with the stunning views of the fiord. Delicious prawns and the best hot chocolate! Wrap up warm though as it did get a bit chilly but I would have missed it. The crew were so attentive and friendly without being in your face. Would definitely recommend.

    Great sheimp and scenery

    I loved everything about this excursion. Please be aware there is only shrimp. Mayonaise, bread, lettuce and lemon to eat. You have to take the heads off and peel the shrimp. You can pur hase alchohol on board. With saying all of that, the scenery, music, and meeting new people was so much fun.

    Rip off

    Boring cruise. No narration, over priced boat ride. A bucket of shrimp to eat which you had to peel yourself and white bread. We tried to change to the jazz or blues cruise and Viator and operator ignored our request. Worst excursion in 5 years of travel.

    Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.

    How much does Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 189 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 Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a 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 Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship?

    +

    Around 66 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a 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.

    What happens to Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Oslo. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Oslo Fjord Evening Cruise with Shrimp Buffet on a Sailing Ship?

    +

    Across 189 reviews averaging 4.1 out of 5, recurring themes include photo opportunities, food and drink. The views and photo stops come up again and again.
