2.Oslo fjord 3-Course Dinner Cruise with Live Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 123 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $160

Set out from Rådhusbrygge 2 for a 2.5-hour Oslofjord dinner cruise aboard a quiet hybrid-electric boat. Enjoy a locally sourced three-course Nordic meal, optional wine, live music, panoramic windows, and an outside deck with views of Dyna Fyr, the Opera House, and Aker Fortress.

“Food was delicious. They graciously substituted salmon for cod ( requested this ahead of time) for one of our meals. Loved how quiet the boat was- very peaceful, smooth ride. We were fortunate to have great weather , so that made being outside on the open decks really nice. The crew/staff were very nice and helpful. I would recommend this experience to others.”
