See and experience

We’re now approaching Pirbadet and Brattøra, the modern district that stretches into the fjord as an extension of Trondheim’s city center. Pirbadet is one of Norway’s largest indoor water parks, featuring warm pools, water slides, training facilities, and saunas — all with panoramic views of the very waters we’re sailing through now. It’s a popular destination for both families and professional athletes. Once a bustling cargo port, Brattøra has been transformed into a vibrant hub of technology, tourism, and culture. It houses the central train station and terminals for express boats, ferries, and cruise ships. The area is also home to Rockheim, Norway’s national museum of popular music, and Powerhouse, a pioneering building designed for energy efficiency and sustainability. Looking further inland, you’ll glimpse Trondheim’s beating heart: the town square, lined with shops and restaurants, and dominated by a towering statue of the city’s founder, Olav Tryggvason. And beyond that, rising above the rooftops, the majestic spire of Nidaros Cathedral catches the eye. Trondheim offers much to experience and explore — and from here, it’s all just a short walk away.
