About
Datos rápidos: Step aboard a real polar vessel and feel the creak of wooden decks and the hush of ice, with cramped cabins and original navigation gear that make early explorers' hardships visceral. Inside, expedition sledges, scientific instruments, and sailors' diaries sit on display, and you can stand within the hull where daring polar routes were plotted.
Destacados: You can climb aboard the original polar exploration ship that spent three years locked in pack ice from 1893 to 1896 under Fridtjof Nansen, and later carried Roald Amundsen on his 1910 South Pole expedition, so you actually walk the decks those explorers walked. Down in the low timbered hull the air still carries a sharp tang of tar and cold wood, narrow bunks force you to curl your shoulders, and a brass sextant and frost-cracked logbooks gleam under dim lamps so you can almost hear the creak of ice around the hull.
Insider tips
- Bring a windproof jacket for the ship deck, even on sunny days.
- Head into the ship interior first to avoid mid-morning ferry crowds.
- Use the mid-ship viewing platforms and foredeck for the best photos of the hull and Bygdøy shoreline.
- Buy a combined ticket with Kon-Tiki to save time and money, or skip the museum cafe and bring a snack.
