Mini cruise round the Oslo fjord islands

Drive from Vollen to Sandvika and walk down to the river landing stage at Kadettangen.  There the boats “M/S Rigmor” and “M/S Rigfar” leave for a 90 minute ferry boat trip with great views of the coastlines, lighthouses and islands.  The ferry leaves at weekends from 18th May – 2nd September and daily except Mondays from 23rd June to 12th August at the following times: 10:30, 13:30 and 15:45.  Unlike the 12:00 Mini-cruise which does not make any stops, the regular ferries stop at a number of islands to let off and fetch passengers.

12:00 Mini-cruise – Recommended for sightseeing. Does NOT stop at the islands.

Sails every Saturday and Sunday from 18. May to 2. September. Also sails on Whit Monday.
Sails daily (except Mondays) from 23rd June to 12th August.

Enjoy the Oslo fjord for an hour and a half sailing to idyllic places not visited by ordinary ferries. The captain tells something of history and facts of current interest. Beginning at Sandvika, you sail past the Nesøya island through the sound, along the Holmen fjord, through “Dinner bay” out between Gåsøya & Ostøya islands where you can see the whole inner fjord into Oslo.  Then back to Sandvika about 13:30.

Ferry and Minicruise: Arrival times at the islands are approximate.  Be at the landing stage at least 5 minutes early.

The ferry takes passengers to the islands but you can take the boat as a sight-seeing trip.  However the Mini-cruise is recommended as this is a guided trip and does not stop at the islands.  These tours take 90 minutes.
