I’m assuming you’re coming from the US from your date notation. So the jetlag will be … not fun. But it’s a honeymoon so you’ll adapt!
Day 2: the Viking ship museum is closed for refurbishment til 2025 (possibly longer), BUT since it’s a Sunday, I would swap it for Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum (only open sundays 1-4). It’s a very odd place but not many ppl see it because of the restrictive hours. Def do the vigelandparken (his more famous brother).
You won’t need to rent a car in Oslo. Public transit is great.
In place of massage, check out an Oslo sauna (badestue). Sauna and then jump directly into the fjord to cool down!

In Flåm, there is a kayak place which is really fun. I think better than the boat tour if you like the more active stuff.
Hope you have a wonderful trip!! Congratulations!!
The viking ship museum is currently closed for renovation/rebuilding/expansion. May I recommend the Folkemuseet and/or the Maritime Museum plus Fram Museum?
the real honey moon is supposed to be spent in Eastern Europe, the best place is Moldova, we have some nice beaches, very beautiful mountanous landscapes (like in Switzerland), Chisinau is ranked top 3 tourist destination as of late july 2022, really nice people, most of them speaking english, all of this for 30% of the price of Western Europe, so it’s basically the perfect destination
Going to Jostedalsbreen national park and staying at jølstraholmen doesn’t make much sense. That’s like 1,5h drive each way. Where are you planning the glacier hike? Nigardsbreen? In that case check if Nes Gard has a free room instead
