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)

Despite the weather being cold and misty - very enjoyable cruise with the inside cosy and warm when you wanted a break from the cold. The pier was easy to find and left on time.

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
