About this excursion

Setting off from the ship, we’ll begin our guided cycling tour of Trondheim along the fjord, following the city’s network of dedicated bike lanes. We’ll cross the new bicycle bridge and enjoy excellent views of Munkholmen Island—often described as Trondheim’s answer to Alcatraz. From here, we’ll cycle through the neighbourhood of Ila and along the Nid River, where you’ll spot the impressive Nidaros Cathedral.

Entering the vibrant Bakklandet district, we’ll stop for coffee and pastries at one of the area’s many cosy cafés. On our return to the ship, we’ll pass through the historic city centre and the revitalised Solsiden district, a former shipyard that has become one of Trondheim’s most popular waterfront destinations.

Each of our excursions has a rating to illustrate the level of fitness required. There are four categories, with 1 being the easiest and 4 the most difficult.

Level 1 = Easy: suitable for most

Excursions at this level are physically undemanding and suitable for most people.

Level 2 = Moderate: some mobility needed

Excursions in this category involve a small amount of physical activity, but on easy terrain with few major challenges.

Level 3 = Active: good mobility needed

Excursions in this category are more active and involve outdoor pursuits that require a decent level of fitness. You may be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. They are not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed 

These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment. You would be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. Excursions in this category are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
