Today we thoroughly enjoyed an eco-friendly sightseeing cruise on the beautiful Oslofjord. What made this trip special was that the boat was fully electric. As a result, it was wonderfully quiet on board, and we were able to fully enjoy the tranquility of nature. We sat comfortably outside on the deck, with the fresh fjord breeze on our faces. All around us, we heard the birds singing, while the clear blue water gently lapped against the boat. The scenery was truly breathtaking. Along the shores were picturesque little houses by the water, and small boats were sailing everywhere, further emphasizing the lively character of the Oslofjord. Above us, beautiful clouds drifted across a clear blue sky, making the view even more impressive. Along the way, we encountered many friendly people who waved enthusiastically at us from their boats or from the shore. That made the atmosphere especially warm and welcoming. During the trip, the guide provided commentary on the surroundings and the sights. Unfortunately, since we were sitting outside and the wind was blowing quite strongly at times, we couldn’t hear everything very clearly. Still, that didn’t detract from our experience at all. It was precisely the silence of the electric boat, the fresh air, the stunning scenery, and the relaxed atmosphere that made this cruise one of the highlights of the day. It was an unforgettable experience where nature, sustainability, and the beauty of Oslo came together perfectly.

There was a boat at the Ikerbrygge pier, which is very easy to access. The boat was very comfortable, and the restrooms were clean. The service was just as good as—or even better than—what you’d find in other tourist cities. However, we had hoped to experience the fjord landscape more fully; since this was a typical tour showcasing various parts of the city along the coastline, it was better suited for enjoying Oslo itself than for experiencing the natural beauty I had anticipated.

Loved the electric boat - well done The staff were excellent in particular the chief officer looking after the paasengers The commentary also great - however found it challenging to connect with the location - perhaps a suggestion would be to provide the passenger with a map with Island names and no for each location (1), (2), .... and then the commentary could ref the location no Thanks and well done Sami H

The perfect way to see the fjord. The silence of the electric vessel was a massive plus; just you and the stunning views uninterrupted. Clean and comfortable with interesting English audio but not too much. Would recommend it as an essential experience if visiting Oslo.
