Cruises to Trondheim, Norway

The facade of the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim in Norway

Viking History. Gothic Cathedral.

Trondheim is Norway’s history. The country’s annals are written in the buildings and monuments of the nation’s historic capital. The timbered architecture of the magnificent 11th-century Domkirke was actually built over the tomb of St. Olav and even today, Norwegian kings continue to be crowned within its massive nave. The city has been the keeper of the kingdom’s treasures, values, legends, religious life, national aspirations and in short, Norway’s past since 997 when the Viking King, Olav Tryggvason, established this trading port on this yearround ice-free fjord at the mouth of the river Nid.
