In late December I have booked the cruise ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo a couple of days before Christmas. The ferry stays for approx. only 6 hours, from 10:00 to 16:30. It arrives in the Oslo Ferry Port which is pretty much in downtown with walking to distance to places such as Akershus Fortress, Aker Brygge, the Royal Castle, the Opera House and Karl Johans gate. As 6 hours is a fairly short time, are there any particular activities you recommend thats worth the time? Any eating place besides MAX and McDonalds that has reasonable prices?

OSlo is very small and walkable. You could probably walk to all of those placed. We really liked Akershus fortress. IT's very close to the Royal Castle. We had a(good) semi expensive indian meal and a pizza at Pepe's Pizza.
I have walked to Bygdøy from Aker brygge/Karl Johan several times. It is about an hour walk, maybe 4-5 km. Most will take a ferry or drive which is what you want to do if you only have 6 hours. If you do go there is more than Vikingskip museum. The Fram museum is very interesting as well.

Just take bus route 30 from RÃ¥dhuset (City Hall). It is just 15 minutes to Vikingskiphuset (museum). I would recommend visiting Tjuvholmen. It is a nice area connected to Aker Brygge.
Holmenkollen is 35 minutes (one way) by metro (incl walking from Holmenkollen metro station) from Nationaltheatret (3-4 min walk from RÃ¥dhuset).
Norway and reasonable prices? Forget it :-p The cheaper restaurants are not located around Karl Johan or Aker Brygge.
Then I certainly think I can rule out Holmenkollen if its more than 1 hour of travelling combined, as the stay is only for 6 hours. Would be great if DFDS could have their ferries stay a bit longer, 6 hours is very short and staying overnight in downtown Oslo is probably not affordable, besides its already booked and payed. I will visit Akershus Fortress and the Opera House for sure, is the roof open to public access all time of the year? Will probably also visit the Viking Ship Museum if its not too troublesome to get there without walking.
By the way just looked up Peppe's Pizza and the prices there looks okay, and if Jensens Bøfhus has the same prices as in Denmark that would be okay too. Quality food is not a requirement.
