Sandefjord Cruise Port
Welcomes You
Welcome to the friendly seaside town of Sandefjord, blessed with a long and beautiful coastline in addition to having a
rich historical heritage. Take part in the history of Sandefjord with memories from the Viking Age, the glory years of its
rise in popularity as a Spa Town in the 19th Century, the Whaling Period, as well as modern times of course. We offer a
wide variety of excursions with optional duration. Oslo is easily reached on an organized day trip.
Experience the Whaling Museum, Europe’s only
museum dedicated to whaling and its history. This
uniqe Museum is focused on the following topics:
Whales, whaling and the oceans’ resources, life in the
ocean, interaction between people and nature and
anti-whaling activity. The tour also takes you to the
beautiful former estate of shipping magnate Anders
Jahre, Midtåsen.
The Vikings lived in the area surrounding the
Oslofjord about 1000 years ago. Their presence is
clearly seen in the artifacts and monument they left
behind.
Sightseeing by walking 2,5 hours guided tour in town
Sandefjord is a modern town with great variation. There are short distances, flat terrain and easy to walk around.
The town has an interesting history, beautiful nature and a quiet atmosphere. On this tour you will get a brief description of Sandefjord and the three main periods of Sandefjords history, Viking, Spa and Whaling, as well as modern history, architecture and curiosities.
On this tour you see a selection of the main
attractions in Sandefjord and visit Stavern, Norway’s smallest town. You will get a brief description of Sandefjord and the three main periods of Sandefjord’s history, Viking, Spa and Whaling as well as modern history.
Sandefjord is a site of cultural and geological interest.
In addition to the whaling legacy, there is also the
history of World War II and the Viking Age. World War
II is best reflected by a visit to the Coastal Fort at
Folehavna where the armaments can still be viewed.
… It is so unique that the word doesn’t even exist in the English language. Sandefjord has lots of it and we would love to share it with you. It is not archipelago nor skerries but hundreds of small and larger islands lining the coast. Some are inhabited but most of them are merely rocks polished by thousands of years of wear and tear by waves and wind.
