Saturday 7th September 2019
We had an early start again today as we left Tonsberg and headed south back to the port of Sandefjord.
We are booked on OSLOFJORD of Fjord Line, leaving at 08.30, and have a table in the Commander Buffet Smorgasboard for breakfast.
We saw her yesterday in the rain when we were on board COLOR VIKING. The Commander Buffet was extremely popular and we were glad to be taken to our table and then could immediately join the crowds at the buffet; there was plentiful food, constantly replenished, as were the hot and cold drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
Fjord Line's own website (fjordline.com) gives these details about OSLOFJORD:
MS Oslofjord’s maiden voyage: June 2014
Length: 134,5 metres
Width: 24 metres
Capacity: Approx. 1,350 passengers and 370 cars
Her gross tonnage is said to be 16,551
She offers tax-free shopping on Decks 4 and 5, as we saw from our walk around after breakfast. I enjoyed her spacious lounges and furniture and she is obviously a popular ship in the fleet. There is a model of her which I photographed, as well as BERGENSFJORD, before walking a little further along on the fun carpet.
We went back to the Buffet Restaurant to have a closer look at some of the armchairs near the tables by the windows and were amused by seeing each chair named for a day of the week. Of course I stood by a Saturday chair for a photograph.
