Built: 1907

Since it was originally built in 1907, the M/S Henrik Ibsen has undergone (many) makeovers, and is now an outstanding example of a luxury day-tour cruise ship that’s more than a century old.

100 feet long and 21 feet wide, our breathtaking boat is registered to carry 100 passengers across the waters of the Telemark Canal – a gorgeous blue stretch surrounded by Norway’s most magnificent mountains and landscapes. When you’re not taking in the view, there are plenty of features to explore both on-deck and inside. Our Agatha Christie-inspired interiors include original English antiques from the late 19th century and red plush sofas, crystal chandeliers, and mahogany and brass fittings.

Though it’s been restored for contemporary travellers with state-of-the-art equipment and technology, the M/S Henrik Ibsen carries an authentic atmosphere that never fails to enthral. All aboard for a marvellous time of dining and reclining while admiring Norway’s verdant views… you’re in for a wonderful time.
