Skibladner Paddle Steamer
DS Skibladner
The world's oldest paddle steamer still in regular service, in operation since 1856. In summer it sails Lake Mjøsa between Hamar and Lillehammer.
Nicknamed the 'White Swan of Lake Mjøsa,' the Skibladner was completed in 1856 and is the oldest paddle steamer in the world still in regular service. Each summer it sails Norway's largest lake, Mjøsa, calling at Hamar, Gjøvik, Eidsvoll and Lillehammer. The trip from Lillehammer to Hamar takes about 4 hours. On board, the classic dining room is known for its signature dish: salmon served with strawberry dessert. Lillehammer calls are less frequent, so check the sailing schedule on the official website and buy tickets in advance.
