n Oslo, Norway, the city sits by the shiny blue waters of Oslofjord. This place is full of color and energy. The fjord goes far inland, more than 37 miles, from the Skagerrak strait. It gives a great view with clear water, green islands, and a tough coastline. One really cool thing is the Bygdøy Peninsula. It has lots of museums and parks. These show what Norway used to be like. If you like boats, you're in for a treat. You can rent a boat and go explore. There are islands called Hovedøya and Gressholmen nearby. People like to boat there and have picnics. And if you want to take a short trip, you can visit Drøbak. It's a nice town by the coast. And there's Oscarsborg Fortress, a very old place with lots of history. If you love boats and want to see beautiful nature, learn about the past, and enjoy the culture, Oslo is a place you should definitely check out.

How Much does it cost?

If you’re considering renting a boat in Oslo, the price will differ depending on the time of year, the number of passengers on board, and the size and type of boat you choose.

Where to sail in Oslo

What to see and do in oslo, should you rent a skipper.

Many of our yacht charters in Oslo come with the option of sailing with a skipper and/or crew. Although this may come at an extra cost, having a skipper on board can, no doubt, provide you with an even more enjoyable experience! Your skippers can adapt their sailing route so that your voyage best suits the desires of you and the rest of your party.

Additionally, setting sail with a skipper will make your voyage even more comfortable! The skipper will take care of all the technical aspects of sailing, so all you need to do is sit back and relax.

If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in Oslo, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way so check with the boat owner beforehand to see that your license is valid.

When is the best time of year to rent a boat?

The high season for boating in Oslo is from June to August when the weather is warm, and the days are long, with an average temperature of around 68-72°F. The months just outside the high season, May and September, can also be a good time to visit and rent a boat in Oslo. During this time, the weather is still relatively mild, with average temperatures ranging from 53-63°F.

What type of boat is best for an Oslo boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Oslo, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Oslo boat charter!

Small in size but impressively large in atmosphere, Oslo reveals a cosmopolitan feel beneath its medieval exterior. Surrounded by sweeping woods and farmland on one side and the shimmering expanse of the Oslo fjord on the other, Oslo is a colourful city slice on Norway’s southeast.

Filling its glossy streets with intriguing museums, inspiring galleries and stunning castles, Oslo is a cultural delight as well as a fine-dining capital. The thriving heart of the city is alive with late-night shopping, crammed cafés, merry pubs and wonderful theatres. Proudly standing as one of Europe’s most heavily forested cities; Oslo is a nature-lovers paradise. The city centre itself is charmingly small, while the outskirts are all forest, lakes and hiking trails.

Aker Brygge The sleek, modern waterfront stretch of Aker Brygge offers a different side to Oslo, boasting artistic steel and glass buildings that dominate the skyline and contrast with the medieval-style city centre. Offering visitors a delightful array of fine restaurants, upscale shops, cinemas and theatres, this post-modern complex is well worth a visit.

Seasons in Oslo Extremely appealing in both winter and summer, Oslo offers everything from cross-country skiing to relaxing fjord-front beaches. Winter is the perfect time to head to Oslo for action-packed winter sports, while summer welcomes endless evenings and long mornings spent sunbathing in any one of the graceful parks.

Summer in Oslo is always a festive affair, as being so short-lived, locals clamour to cram their days with as much outdoor activity as possible. From the emergence of open-air beer gardens and street musicians to boating and festival parades, Oslo is an amazing place to be when the sun is at its warmest.

Nightlife Oslo’s nightlife is more about sociable cafés, intimate restaurants and scenic bars than rollicking pubs and all-night clubs. Frogner and Bygdy on Oslo’s quieter west side appeal to a mature, upmarket clientele, while the lovely Karl Johans Gate attracts a sociable crowd both day and night.

A Fairy Tale for Netflix: A Norwegian Princess Weds an American Shaman

The nuptials of Princess Martha Louise and Durek Verrett attracted huge public interest and a streaming deal for a couple trying to reclaim their narrative after years of bad press.

By Henrik Pryser Libell and Lynsey Chutel

Henrik Pryser Libell reported from Oslo, and Lynsey Chutel from London.

There was no castle, nor were there throngs of exuberant crowds to celebrate this royal wedding. Nonetheless, the nuptials on Saturday of a Norwegian princess and an American self-described shaman attracted public fascination at home and a Netflix deal abroad.

The royal involved — Princess Martha Louise, daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway — wed the American, Durek Verrett, after years of often mocking public scrutiny, largely because of Mr. Verrett’s alternative views on health and wellness . The ceremony, a private affair in the remote, picturesque Norwegian village of Geiranger, attracted a gaggle of reporters and a modest crowd of curious residents.

The couple sailed into Geiranger, nestled in the majestic Geirangerfjord, a world heritage site, on the royal yacht on Friday, along with members of the royal family, including King Harald and Queen Sonja, according to an official statement .

The celebrations on Saturday began with brunch, with the option of a spa treatment available for all guests, according to a copy of the program seen by The New York Times. The day’s schedule also included an afternoon tea, early evening cocktails and a gala dinner. At 10:50 p.m., “the party begins,” the program said, promising late night snacks at 1 a.m.

The ceremony itself was held in a marquee on a farm whose meadows overlook the fjords. The couple, stung by the years of critical news coverage, had tried — and failed — to keep the location a secret. The three-day event was privately financed, the royal family said, but that did not stop reporters from speculating about the cost of security arrangements for those attending.

During the couple’s two-year engagement, the media in Norway often made fun of Mr. Verrett’s beliefs in alternative healing — he was even lampooned in an episode of an animated television show. The negative coverage has not, however, deterred the couple from planning to share their wedding with the world.

Last week, Netflix announced that it was producing a documentary about the couple’s love story. The production, as yet untitled, was to be led by Rebecca Chaiklin, who was behind the pandemic-era streaming hit “Tiger King.” To make the show, a crew followed Princess Martha Louise and Mr. Verrett for more than a year as they prepared for their wedding.

The couple also sold their wedding pictures to the British tabloid Hello! in an exclusive deal that saw them pose in matching outfits to greet their guests and dance at a salsa party on Friday night. Apart from the financial rewards for the couple, the deals were also viewed as an attempt to shift the often negative portrayal of their relationship.

That might be a tall order. “I can’t imagine anything less interesting than that wedding,” Mads Hansen, a Norwegian television personality, told a local broadcaster. “The best thing for everyone would have been if no one mentioned it, and it quietly passed by. Ironically, I’m saying this in an interview, which contributes to a story that also adds to this coverage.”

On television and online, the wedding was the story of the day in Norway, despite the attempts to keep proceedings low key. The Norwegian public has become increasingly critical of the country’s monarchy, even if the 87-year-old King Harald remains popular.

A poll in August by the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK showed that 40 percent of respondents had an increasingly negative view of the royal family, with some pointing to the princess’ relationship with Mr. Verrett as one of the reasons. Princess Martha Louise is fourth in line to the throne.

The couple, who met in 2019, have leaned into a brand of alternative healing that has drawn criticism from some medical experts who deride it as pseudoscience, even as it has attracted tens of thousands of online devotees. Mr. Verrett, who says he is a sixth-generation shaman , counts as his clients the actresses Selma Blair and Nina Dobrev, and has described Gwyneth Paltrow as “family.”

Princess Martha Louise, who was previously married and has three daughters, has a long-documented interest in alternative treatments and celestial interactions, and has claimed an ability to communicate with angels and the dead. She once started a center where she encouraged her students to find their “inner source of truth,” and she has co-hosted a tour of healing workshops with Mr. Verrett called “The Princess and the Shaman.”

Two years ago, Princess Martha Louise stepped away from her official responsibilities as the bad press coverage mounted. She and Mr. Verrett were “seeking to distinguish more clearly between their activities and the Royal House of Norway,” the royal family said in a statement at the time.

Still, seeing the royal yacht glide down the fjord on Friday struck a chord with Oyvind Skodje, an engineer in his 30s who lives in a town near Geiranger.

“I think it says a lot about the king and queen,” Mr. Skodje said. “They are down-to-earth and inclusive, and supportive of their children, no matter what choices they make.

If you love ’70s and early ’80s tunes from artists like Toto, Christopher Cross, America, Ambrosia and Bread, you’ll want to buy a ticket to the Portland Yacht Rock Festival.

The show is on Friday at Aura.

Yacht Rock is the tongue-in-cheek name given to soft-rock music that is loosely associated with southern California and boating. Mostly, it’s comprised of hit songs that you won’t bang your head to but will certainly sing along with. Best of luck with the those high notes in the refrain of Toto’s “Africa.”

Aura general manager Mark Curdo is a gigantic Yacht Rock fan, and the first planning meeting about the show took place at Three Dollar Dewey’s in January.

Curdo, with the help of guitarist Max Cantlin (Gina and the Red Eye Flight Crew, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, Micromasse), assembled an all-star cast of 14 local musicians to perform a slew of classic Yacht Rock songs on Friday night. Advertisement

“I’ve been a fan of light and easy listening rock my whole life,” Curdo said. “Whether people think Yacht Rock is cheesy or not, at the end of the day, this stuff is well done and the musicianship is ridiculous.”

Singer Gina Alibrio. Design by Kate Beever

The idea for the Yacht Rock show has been mapped out in Curdo’s head for a few years. “I wanted to have a few lead singers, I knew certain ones could hit certain notes, and I actually had the whole set list.”

It includes hits like “Reminiscing” by Little River Band, “Ventura Highway” by America, “Midnight at the Oasis” by Maria Muldaur, “Eye In The Sky” by The Alan Parsons Project and “On and On” by Stephen Bishop.

Lead vocal duties will be shared among Don Campbell, Gina Alibrio, Owen Conforte and Kris Rodgers. There will also be a couple of guest vocalists taking the stage.

The band is led by Cantlin and includes Tyler Quist on bass, Chris Sweet on drums, Emma Stanley on trumpet and flugelhorn and Kate Beever on percussion, among several others.

Musician Bitch. Photo by Dana Lynn Pleasant

Boston-based singer-songwriter Bitch (Karen Mould) is performing a Saturday night show on Great Diamond Island, the home of their longtime friend Dini Lamot.

“I’m gonna bring my bass and my violin, sing songs and tell some stories, and it should be really intimate and sweet,” said Bitch (known as Karen only to their mother, according to  a 2022 interview.)

Face the Music: Tough subjects get upbeat treatment on ‘Bitchcraft’

The show will feature a number of songs from the 2022 album “Bitchcraft,” including “Easy Target,” which they wrote in the aftermath of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, and the synth- and percussion-heavy breakup tune “Pages.”

The album was well-received, and Bitch enjoyed the boost after a several year hiatus from putting out music. “It gave me wind under my broomstick again. It has been a beautiful homecoming into being an artist again.”

They said they’ve also been writing new material. “I actually started laying a couple of songs down in the studio last month. There’s a new project on the horizon.”

Bitch has been performing a one-woman show since the release of “Bitchcraft” and was excited to share that it will have an off-Broadway run in New York City starting this winter.

To get to the show on Saturday, take the Casco Bay Lines Great Diamond Island ferry at 6 p.m. Return trips depart at 10:35 p.m. Tickets are $14 and be purchased at the terminal. Visit cascobaylines.com for details.

Bitch 7 p.m. Saturday. Elwell Hall, 1 Crescent Ave., Great Diamond Island, $10-$20 donation at the door. bitchmusic.com
