What to expect
A visit to Oslo is not complete without an Oslo fjord sightseeing tour. Board the ship and pass through narrow sounds, idyllic bays and a maze of islands with traditional small summer houses. The city has a special location which allows you to observe the fjords until almost in the city center. Enjoy the spectacular scenery and sail past the Hovedøya, the Dyna Lighthouse, see the narrow inlets and sheltered bays.
Not only does the tour pass the beautiful nature that surrounds Oslo. You will also pass the famous Opera House. It is named Kirsten Flagstad's place 1 after the opera's first director Kirsten Flagstad. It was officially opened on 12 April 2008 and since then received many awards.
Finally, the boat passes close to the peninsula of Bygdøy which holds a variety of museums and beaches. Look out for the veteran sailing ships from the Maritime Museum and the impressive polar ship of the Fram Museum. During the trip, you can either listen to an English audio guide or to your own English-speaking guide.
