Glide silently along the Nidelva River past Trondheim's iconic coloured wharfhouses and beneath the Old Town Bridge — the only way to see the city's most photographed skyline from the level it was built to be seen.
What to expect
After a brief paddle lesson at the launch point near Nedre Elvehavn marina, you glide upriver with the city's rooftops reflected in calm water. Your guide points out the original 11th-century quay positions, the old fish market, and the hidden gardens behind the wharfhouses. Rounding back under the red-latticed Gamle Bybro is the unmissable moment — the postcard view of Trondheim, experienced from inside it. Dry-bags provided; no experience necessary.
Good to know
Launch point is a 10-minute walk from the cruise terminal. Tours depart mornings; book at least 2 weeks ahead for summer months. Wear layers — the river is sheltered but Norwegian air is brisk. Confirm all-aboard time; the 2-hour session comfortably fits a typical port day.
