The ship itself carries a long history. M/S Henrik Ibsen was built in 1907 and has since transported passengers through different waterways before eventually finding its home on the Telemark Canal. Today, the ship continues a tradition where the journey itself remains a central part of the experience.

On board, the pace is quieter, whether you choose to spend time on the promenade deck, in the Aktersalongen restaurant or in the café at the front of the ship. Landscapes, meals and conversations blend naturally together, leaving space to simply be present along the way.

Combined with a stay at Dalen Hotel, the canal journey becomes part of a larger whole, where nature, history and time meet.

M/S Henrik Ibsen operates daily scheduled sailings between Skien and Dalen during the summer season, from mid-May to early October.
