For the price this was the perfect way to see the fjords and was only 2 hours on the dot. It even rained a bit for the first 30 mins but they had blankets and you were sitting under a covered area, including the heat lamps on the lower outside level. Staff was amazing, accommodating and they have drinks and snacks and a bathroom that was clean!

Hey, it was a fantastic trip ...., I will never forget it. Sunny 25 degrees, a wonderful boat, superfriendly capitan and stuff, perfect music and on board good-vibes-people all over the world. DO IT Love and peace Tom / Bavaria

It was a great experience. The trip was well organized and well managed. I would gladly repeat it the next time I am in Oslo. They provide a discount for trips to Oslo Pass holders and sell Oslo Passes in their office.

We took the Jazz Cruise, excellent. I totally recommend it. Best options to know the coast. Good ambient, music good. The shirmp buffet is normally but good experience.

Booking this was tricky, all times are available, but then you go through the process to discover they're not. Which is fine, but because it's been rejected already, when I confirmed what was available, I was told after declined it takes 72 hours to book again. Very frustrating; we wanted to travel tomorrow, and help desk could not intervene

Great ship, wonderful views and good narration. They also served drinks and light snacks. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to see and learn more about Oslo.

This was a fun and informative 2 hour cruise on a 1946 sailing ship. The ship had a good assortment of food and drinks with nice with great bathrooms. The tour was well worth the time.

It was a good 2 hours sightseeing down the fjord. You will see some major buildings in Oslo, see some inlets, and learn a bit of interesting history. It is easy to find. There will be a bit of a line, so get there early if you want to get a spot. There are enough decent spots for everyone, don't worry too much. There are blankets onboard, which you will probably use. Not much interaction with the staff, but they were friendly. There is a bar downstairs if you want food, a snack, or a drink. There is also a toilet downstairs. Overall it was worth the time and money. If you want to visit The Fram and Open Air Museum, the ferry is right next to this cruise. You will need to pay for that ferry unless you have an Oslo pass.

Great trip-wonderful views. Very relaxing. Staff were pleasant. History of the area was interesting. Would happily go again.

It was a lovely afternoon (2 hours) spent on the Helena. The crew were very friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. The boat was comfortable and easy to move around so you could get the best photos from both sides. Don't expect to see the very dramatic fjords in the North of Norway that you see advertised by big cruise companies but we knew this before we booked it. There was plenty to see, especially the Norwegian houses and bathing huts on the shoreline. We booked this direct with NYC because it was much cheaper and the times more convenient than a very similar excursion from the Cruse liner we were on. Unfortunately I had left my purse behind but didnt notice until the next day when we were in Denmark. NYC couldn't have been more helpful. They had found it, kept it for me and posted it to me back home in the UK which was very much appreciated.

We took the Fjordsightseeing cruise as part of our OsloPass, and it was a nice way to relax and enjoy some Oslofjord scenery! The cruise highlighted the charming little Norwegian summer houses lining the shores, and it was amazing to see the beauty of the natural landscape. Keep in mind though, this isn't a full fjord adventure. The cruise stays closer to the city and doesn't venture deep into the dramatic fjords with towering cliffs. So, if you're expecting those majestic postcard views, you might be disappointed. But, for a relaxing boat trip with some pleasant scenery and a chance to see those cute summer houses, Fjordsightseeing is a good option, especially if it's included in your OsloPass. 🇳🇴⛴️

Amazing trip! Lovely the recorded explanation of the history and main features and buildings, very friendly staff too. So happy I did that!!

I sat on the on Wharfside thinking if this experience would be worth it before I bought a ticket, and I'm pleased to say it was. Despite the cruise not being the most visually striking of cruises, it was pleasant none the less with crystal clear weather and glassy waters gliding the boat across the water. The cruise departed bang on time, with boarding starting about 10 minutes before departure and returned on time 2 hours later. The cruise works its way round the harbour area, which is fairly uninteresting, although context is given to a couple of buildings that can be found. From here the yacht sailed out into the fjord, passed some rocky islands, unique waterside houses, and a lighthouse as it circles back to dock again. Information is given in English over loudspeaker with a human guide, she was quite knowledgeable, and made parts of it humorous where relevant to sights of interest on the voyage. The yacht is small but has plenty of seating areas on the deck with long tables, which is where you will be spending most of your time. Views are also fairly unobstructed. Below deck is the toilet and a small refreshment area. I got myself a hot chocolate which was quite expensive, although it was a large glassful, as opposed to a small cup so I'm pleased to say I did get my money’s worth. They do offer small snacks such as warm waffles too. I was pleased to visit and see some sights that I wouldn't have otherwise been able too had I have not done this experience. Yes, it’s not quite the traditional Norwegian Fjord Cruise many picture, but is still nice to do, so expect to see vast waters, rocky outcrops, and if your lucky, Dolphins, seals or whales on the journey.

This was an excellent boat trip and a great way to see the islands of Oslo. We were able to see things from a good view as the boat was able to get close to everything. Parts of it were very cold and windy, which you expect in Oslo in February!, but this didn’t take anything away from the enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.

I was sceptical about spending 2 hours on a boat, in the middle of January, in Norway, but can say that I am so glad we did. The boat was very nice and authentic but had was fitted electric heat lamps to help keep us warm. Blankets were also scattered around. The benches on the boat ended up being a little cramped, but once the tour was in swing and people were moving about the boat it became more comfortable. The staff were very knowledgeable and were more than happy to answer further questions that the tour raised. The journey around the fjord was beautiful and scenic, I appreciated the tidbits of information on how the fjord was created and the people who lived/live there. The full bar was great with delicious mulled wine, beers and a selection of food on offer. Would recommend this very well thought out and reasonably priced tour.
