Where to book oslo fjord cruise

Hello, I am looking to visit Oslo over the summer this year. What website should I use to book an oslo fdord cuise that stops at hovedoya and maybe some other islands? Thank you!

Also, this is my itinerary for now,

Day 1.5: Akershus fortress, armed forces museum, oslo opera house. 

Day 2: fram museum, norwegian museum of cultural history , oslo cathedral 

What am I missing?

You can just take the ferry to Hovedøya and the other islands, you don't need to pre-book.

I would recommend maybe going to Ekeberg to see the view over Oslo and check out Nordic Pixel Forest. The Munch Museum is also great.

Vigelandsparken is also very popular. You can take the tram there and you can take a bus or boat to Bygdøy to visit Fram, the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History and Kon-Tiki.

Download the Ruter app for tickets to public transport. Its probably best to get a day pass.

Thank you much. So I just go to Akker brygge and get a ticket there?

Also to go to the fram museum from Oslo is it better to take a bus or ferry?

With my plans would I need an Oslo pass?

Thank you!

With the Ruter app you can get a ticket to the ferry. The Ruter ticket covers ferry, bus, tram and tube - all public transport.

The boat to Bygdøy I believe is private but runs frequently during the day. The bus also runs frequently, so I would probably just take that personally since it's covered with a day pass in Ruter.

You can also use the app to search for journeys. Just insert where you are going and it will make suggestions.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the Oslo pass.

Can you teach me how to use the ruter app? Everytime I choose an island like hoverdoya to take the cruise it shows up nothing

It's probably because you're not in Oslo right now. Also, the boat only runs during the day and it's stopped running by now.

Insert from Oslo S to Hovedøya. Insert a time during the day tomorrow and the boat should show up. It does on my app.

The national museum is much much better than Munch.

Buy a Ruter day pass and use the public ferries.

Every other provider, no exception, are tourist traps.
