Because the different neighborhoods of Kristiansund are built on several islands, a network of small neighborhood boats has been shuttling people around for over 100 years. It is one of the oldest transport companies in the world. These famous Sundbåtene are one of the city's characteristic attractions: you can take them to get a glimpse, without stopping.

The large Hurtigruten liners that sail along the Norwegian coast stop in Trondheim. Daily departures for the south: Bergen terminal. For the north: Terminal Kirkenes.

This is one of the most popular ferry trips in the world! From the deck or comfortably installed in an armchair at the front of the boat, you can admire the Geirangerfjord from the water for about an hour. High cliffs on both sides, water as smooth as a lake, waterfalls that are too numerous to count. Some of the houses on the shore were still inhabited until 1960. Elevator for people with reduced mobility, coffee, light food and good mood of the whole team! You feel like you are at the end of the world!

Hurtigruten offers year-round cruises on the coastal express that sails along the Norwegian coast from port to port and back again. There are also themed round-trip cruises that are all-inclusive on board. Although a little expensive, these cruises have the advantage of being on relatively small boats. The website is very well done and you will often find interesting promotional offers. The company is reliable because it has a lot of experience.
