A small electric boat slips away from the quay and the city exhales. The air tastes faintly of salt and baked sugar — each guest handed a warm cookie as the hull parts the glassy Oslofjord. In 75 minutes you move past the Opera House’s low, sloping roof, arc past Akershus Fortress, and skirt the tree-dotted islets that dare you to step ashore.
