The world's most beautiful water journey

A journey on the Telemark Canal aboard the M/S Henrik Ibsen is a unique cultural and historical voyage through spectacular Norwegian nature and magnificent lock systems. The canal and its locks were once considered one of the world's eight wonders when they were carved into the mountains in the late 1800s.

Onboard, you can enjoy first-class service, whether you're on the Promenade Deck, in the Aktersalongen restaurant with delicious dishes from the ship's kitchen and a varied selection of drinks, or in the forward Café. We offer a unique combination of a historic canal cruise and a culinary stay at the enchanting Dalen Hotel, which we refer to as "a spa for the soul."

With pride, we invite you aboard for an impressive and historic journey along the Telemark Canal, where comfort and service are the focus, all while experiencing one of Norway's most beautiful nature experiences.

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