We felt lucky to be in a new electric boat which was in service for just a month. Two decks of fully heated seating area . The tour guide was in English very nice lady who presented with wit and pleasant to listen to. We sat in the upper deck and the view was breathtaking. The bar located in the lower deck sold refreshments and alcohol. On the upper deck you could also go into the open space (-4degree) to take photographs or view the tour in the cold. Despite everything being expensive in Norway, we felt this ride was value for money. Highly recommend to see the Oslo fjord via this pleasant silent sustainable mode. Excellent service

Це була неймовірна подорож по Осло ф‘йорду. Були такі красиві місця, що очі бачили а мозок відмовлявся розуміти. Сам катамаран дуже тихий, комфортний і сучасний. З будь-якого місця - буде гарний вид завдяки великим вікнам. Нас зустріли з велком-дрінком. Подавали перекус із двох сендвічі та десерту у вигляді полуниці в шоколаді. Найцікавішим кутом була середня точка де ми розвернулися назад. Там був найкрасивіший пейзаж з хітте, замерзлим берегом та все було присипане снігом. Наїхали на льод і це теж було цікаво. Дитина в захваті)

Really nice trip. The boat is silent, it is warm inside and you always could go outside to take pictures or enjoy the view.

Fantastic experience would highly recommend lovely relaxed cruise along the fjord, very friendly staff, boat was excellent.

Very nice boat, very clean and tidy, friendly crew. Perfect length of tour
