Step aboard an electric cruise boat and glide across the scenic Oslofjord to the island of Bygdøy, where Norway’s legendary explorers come to life.
Begin your adventure at the Kon-Tiki Museum, home to artifacts from Thor Heyerdahl’s daring expeditions. Marvel at the original Kon-Tiki balsawood raft, used on his 1947 voyage from Peru to Polynesia, and see Ra II, the papyrus boat that successfully crossed the Atlantic in 1970.
Next, continue to the Fram Museum to explore Norway’s polar history. Discover the iconic Fram, built in 1892 and used by explorers such as Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen on Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. The ship is exhibited in its entirety, including its original interior and expedition inventory, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of early polar exploration.
After your museum visits, enjoy the Expedition Taste Experience—a modern culinary journey inspired by the ingredients and flavors of the original expeditions. Conclude the tour with a relaxing cruise back to the pier, reflecting on a day filled with adventure, history, and discovery.
