I’ve traveled a lot in my life and just spent five weeks in Norway and France. This outing with Trollcruise was one of my all time highlights. Some friends and I went on a Wednesday when they had music. We shared a couple of generously supplied baskets of food which included meat, focaccia bread (really good), olives, nuts, cheese, and a free drink including beer or wine. They take off out of the Oslo harbor so it was easy to get to. This is a main area of town walking distance from the train station or just about anywhere central. The musician was multi-lingual and talented. His name is Ole Martin. There were Norwegians, French, Italians, and Americans on board that night. We joined in singing songs in English and Norwegian. I don’t remember all of the songs but I remember a few from Creedance Clearwater, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen. We had a really, really excellent time singing and looking at Oslo and surrounding from the boat. The boat is a large wooden sailing ship with a friendly captain and crew. We ate and drank, and sang our way around the Oslo fjord for a couple of hours into the sunset. If it sounds magical, it was. The price was extremely reasonable for what you got. Definitely a great value and memories for a lifetime. See my photos. You’ll get the idea. If you are in Norway, don’t miss this. I highly recommend it.
