Oslo, Norway

Oslofjord by Boat

Sail Oslo’s Archipelago Board a boat and sail past idyllic islands into the sheltered bays of the Oslofjord. Oslo is situated at the head of its namesake fjord, with views of Akershus Fortress and the two towers of City Hall from its harbor. Climb on board your sailboat, and after a short safety briefing, cruise past quaint islands-including Hovedøya and the Dyna Lighthouse-through narrow inlets and into sheltered bays, observing Scandinavia’s oldest capital from all angles. Your boat passes close to the peninsula of Bygdøy, with its many museums and beautiful beaches. Here, the Norwegian Maritime Museum has veteran sailing ships moored outside, and the impressive Fram Museum houses the polar ship of the same name. Enhance your experience at sea by learning the art of shelling shrimp and tasting their sweet flavor. After your trip at sea, return to the pier and your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
