Cruise Port Guide Trondheim – Norway: docked

Your cruise ship will dock in the port of Trondheim. The cruise dock in Trondheim is also known as the “Tourist ship quay 68”. There is a small tourist information booth on the dock with maps and representatives. Other than that there are hardly any facilities. If there are 2 cruise ships in port on the same day a second cruise dock will be made available. See the blue ship icon in the map above to find the exact location of this dock. The city centre is approximately a 1 km / 15 minute walk from the cruise port. Cruise ships usually provide a shuttle service into town. Check with the front office on board what will be the case for your call.

Trondheim by foot

Trondheim is a compact city that you can easily explore by foot. To walk to the city centre you have to walk over the train station. At the cruise dock you can spot the train station and the walking bridge going over it. Simply cross it and you will be in town!

Taxis at the cruise port

There are usually a very limited amount of taxis available at the Trondheim cruise port. Taxis are not very common to tour around with as they are simply too expensive (100 USD per hour). If you would like a taxi be sure to reserve one yourself or through the front office on board.

Rent a bicycle

Why not rent a bicycle and explore Trondheim by bike. You can rent a bicycle card at the Trondheim Tourist Information to unlock one of the city bikes. You pay a small fee and deposit for the card and keep in mind you will have to return this to the tourist information office before you leave. You can also rent a bicycle or buy a tour at Trondheim Bike Tours.
