★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 312 reviews · from $146

Review of Oslo’s 2.5-hour electric dinner cruise, with Norwegian seafood, Opera House views, sunset scenery, practical tips, and value advice.

“It was a great way to see the city. The boat was very nice, and it gave a great platform to look at the city as the sun went down. The crew was very nice as well. This is not a tour where you have a tour guide, explaining different things, but it’s a very nice boat ride to be able to look at the city and be in the water. The food is very good and they brought it out throughout the trip. So in between different courses of the meal, you could step out on the deck and look at the scenery. It was well worth the trip…”
