This ancient city was founded by the Viking King Olav Tryggvason as early as 997. Your shore excursion begins with a tour of the city from the pier to Norway's national shrine, Nidarosdomen (Nidaros Cathedral) - Norway's only Gothic style cathedral, built over the burial place of St. Olav, Norway's patron saint.

Here you'll be impressed by the unbelievable architectural details and exquisite works of art. After a guided tour of the cathedral, you'll have some free time to explore. From Nidaros Cathedral you'll travel by bus to the Ringve Museum of Musical History where enthusiastic tour guides will take you on a musical journey through history. This beautiful manor house was the childhood home of Norwegian naval hero Petter Wessel Tordenskiold and is surrounded by a wonderful botanical garden. The Museum is conveniently located just outside Trondheim and represents an idyllic spot to enjoy the beautiful views of both the town and the fjord.
