Floating Mensans
2024

Floating Mensans in 2024 will be set up as a minimalistic event 12th to 15th April, where the main focus is what the participating Mensans decide to do, there and then, aboard the ships and when ashore in Copenhagen and Oslo.

It will go Oslo-Copenhagen-Oslo-Copenhagen.

Decide if you wish to join roundtrip from Oslo 14th April or roundtrip from Copenhagen 15th April - or even the full Oslo-Copenhagen-Oslo-Copenhagen, if you have FOMO:

Leg 1: Oslo - Copenhagen on Friday 12th April
Leg 2: Copenhagen - Oslo on Saturday 13th April
Leg 3: Oslo - Copenhagen on Sunday 14th April

The company is DFDS

Remember, we compete for tickets with a few hundred non-Mensans, so book as early as you can!

It will be a very simplified organizing, just a mini cruise where you are guaranteed to meet up with other Mensans to eat, drink, discuss and party.

What we do:

1. There is no organized booking, just book yourself with DFDS, and meet up. 

2. There are no conference room aboard, we meet where we can on the ship.

3. Please register in the event on the Facebook group - or send us an email, if you are not on Facebook

4. There will be a button to identify the participants, to be able to find each other among all the non-Mensan passengers, estimated cost €1 or 10 NOK/SEK/DKK.

Possible activities ashore in  Copenhagen and Oslo will be announced.

Note!
The orga team is organising Floating Mensans on our spare time, so our employers may object if we do not take breaks from organising Floating Mensans to do our day job in-between.

The domain name is registered by Norwegian Mensa member Morten N.B. Øen for personal use, and have no other affiliation to Mensa. The meaning of "rart" is "strange, peculiar", and the country code top-level domain ".no" sounds like the Norwegian word "noe" said fast, meaning "something". The full domain name sounds in Norwegian like one says "somethin' strange".
The subdomain is set up to allow an independent group of Mensans to announce Floating Mensans.
