Our season is over—welcome back in 2019

Take a day trip to 1856! Now is your chance to sail on one of Norway’s best-loved attractions, the historic paddle steamer Skibladner, only a short journey from Oslo. Welcome to a world of exciting sights, sounds, smells and scenery—and a ship that’s been sailing for 162 years! Sailings resume in the 2019 season.

Live on TV

In 2016, Skibladner starred in the latest season of the immensely popular “slow TV” programmes here in Norway. Her entire voyage was broadcast live each day on Norway’s prime TV channel, NRK 1. Skibladner will resume her scheduled service for the 2017 season at the end of June.

Plan your trip here

Skibladner sails daily throughout the summer, 6 days a week (excluding Mondays). We alternate between a northbound route (to Lillehammer) and a southbound route (to Eidsvoll). You can plan your journey to arrive back at your starting point if you travel from Gjøvik, Hamar, Kapp and Moelv. The timetabled season is now over—but call our booking office for details of other trips with dining, music and entertainment.

Dining onboard

Treat yourself to a culinary experience by dining at one of the district’s best restaurants — aboard a working paddle steamer! Skibladner’s first class dining saloon has a proud 160-year history and serves the famous salmon & strawberries menu as well as many others.
