I have been wanting to do a DFDS mini cruise to Oslo for some years now, which is definitely something to do with friends, not alone.
Around Christmas time, there are offers on the tickets, so my work organized a trip, 12 of us, for only 20 DKK! unreal! Jumped on the opportunity right away.
We left CPH at around 16.30, and arrived in Oslo next morning at 9.45. We had 6 hrs to spend in the city. Most of the day we spent a bit out f the city, where the olympic sky jump is, incredible structure and wonderful views from up there.
In the city we wondered around the Christmas market, and a bit in city centre, then got back on the boat at 16.00.
Oslo is quite charming, but not as much as CPH architecture style. CPH is nicer, Oslo has more square and boring buildings in the centre, but right outside, the wooden houses are incredible!
But clean and tidy was my impression. I almost spent no money , so cannot say how expensive it is, every one claims it's incredibly pricy , but can't tell. We bought food and drinks from home so none of us really got to drain our accounts before the holidays.
I was surprised at the amount of gipsies, hold on to your wallet!
The ship was also a lot of fun, with lots of restaurants, bars, cocktail lounge, and live music.
I would definitely do it again !
