Welcome aboard our traditional wooden boats Frøya, Himinglæva, and Bylgja, all built in the UNESCO-recognized clinker boat tradition. Join us for an unforgettable river cruise along the beautiful Nidelva River, flowing through the very heart of Trondheim.
Perfect for small groups, this experience offers a personal and authentic way to discover the city from the water. As we sail slowly through Trondheim, you will pass the colorful historic wharves rising above the riverbanks, the charming Old Town Bridge with its famous red “portals of happiness,” and the lively canal area with the Coastal Society’s collection of historic wooden and iron boats dating from the early 1700s up until today.
The journey also takes you past Skansen, once the old harbor located outside the original city walls, before continuing toward Brattøra — Trondheim’s modern harbor district where old maritime traditions meet the city of today.
Along the way, our local captains and guides share stories about Trondheim’s history, coastal culture, people, and life along the river, giving you a deeper connection to the city and its surroundings.
Whether you are visiting Trondheim for the first time or rediscovering your hometown from the water, this river cruise offers a peaceful and memorable experience in one of Norway’s most beautiful urban waterways.
