Cruise the historic M/S Fram

Cruise the historic M/S Fram

Slow down on a two-hour boat trip across Lake Nisser, gliding past islands and locks aboard the wooden M/S Fram from 1909.

Why it’s worth it

Classic Vrådal from the water

The M/S Fram offers a calm way to experience the lakes around Vrådal. The pace is slow, the views are wide, and the wooden boat feel adds character you don’t get from modern sightseeing. It’s a great option when you want something restful that still feels special.

What you can do

Sit back and watch the landscape

Take a seat on deck, enjoy the fresh air, and let the shoreline change from quiet bays to narrow passages. The route includes islands and lock passages, and the crew may share local stories along the way. It’s a simple experience: show up, board, and relax.

Good to know

Simple comfort on board

This isn’t a luxury cruise, and that’s part of the charm. Bring a light layer for wind on the deck, and arrive a bit early to settle in. If you’re travelling with kids, the steady pace makes it easy to enjoy without feeling rushed.
