We arrived 20 minutes early and the boat was nearly full. It is open seating, so prepare to share small benches with strangers. Drinks are weak and expensive for what you get.
Overall, we had a good time. Thousands of shrimp available with no limit to your consumption. You must remove the heads and peel them yourself, but that can add to the experience if you’re into that kind of thing.
Oslo fjord is not one of the dramatic fjords you’d expect to see in Norway. It’s more like a harbor you sail around for three hours while you look at foothills in the distance. The harbor is clean and beautiful, however, with friendly boaters and charming little boat houses.
Boat staff is friendly and the music enlivens the ride a bit. You can even request the songs you’d like to hear. Our boat ended up having an ABBA singalong, which was Scandinavian af. Overall a fun time. 👍
