But still friendly, nonetheless

Cruise Travel, Sept-Oct, 2005 by Trygve Blix

I enjoyed the "Only A Day In Oslo" article in the August 2005 Cruise Travel. However, on the contents page you state that Oslo is a "friendly Baltic port." This is incorrect, as Oslo is north of the Skagerrak in the Oslo Fjord.

Even though Oslo is a popular port on what cruise-line brochures often describe as "Baltic Itineraries," Norway's capital city is indeed in the Oslo Fjord, north of the Skagerrak (a strait connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat strait, which leads into the Baltic Sea), and thus is not a Baltic seaport.
