Luxury Pontoon Tours: Archipelago & Historic DS Hestmanden
★ 5.0 · 2 reviewsBy Nordic Waterways
Embark on a relaxing and premium boat trip through the beautiful islands of Southern Norway. This tour is designed for comfort and safety, perfect for families, seniors, and anyone who wants a smooth ride on the water.
Board the Bennington 25L Pontoon, famous for its stability. It has a spacious, flat deck, making it easy to move around and find a good seat. Let the certified crew take care of everything, so you can just sit back and enjoy the view.
Explore the scenic areas around Bragdøya, navigating through calm, sheltered waters. See traditional Norwegian wooden cabins and historic sea houses up close. The boat's unique design allows you to glide close to the shoreline, rock formations, and lush forests. To ensure the most comfortable and safe journey, the exact route is tailored by the captain based on the day’s weather and tide conditions.
Cruise to the home port of the legendary D/S Hestmanden, the only remaining Norwegian cargo ship to have survived both World War I and World War II. Get a fantastic close-up view of "The Lucky Ship" while you hear its dramatic history and vital importance to Norway's freedom. Note: On the rare occasions the ship is sailing to a festival, you will still hear its incredible story as you pass its historic docks.
Cruise Guest Guarantee: Full refund if your cruise ship is delayed or fails to call the port due to Force Majeure, preventing you from joining the tour. We also guarantee to have you back at our docking place in good time before your ship's scheduled departure. Our meeting point is located a comfortable 500-meter walk from the cruise terminal.
