Travelling through this pretty Scandinavian city, prepare to be enthralled by the classic wooden 19th century townhouses, en route to your first thrilling stop of the day.

Your guide will narrate your journey as you cruise through the countryside and the Trondheim fjord, on to Orkanger village, which sits at the estuary of the River Orkla, and is known for its excellent salmon fishing.

You arrive the Løkken copper mines where you will receive a short orientation, and be provided with a hard-hat and for your half-mile walk through the mine. You will navigate gravel paths, steps and wooden walkways as you absorb the atmosphere in the mine, which was in operation from 1654 to 1987. Today the caverns are quiet and the rocky surfaces drip with moisture, while a faint odor of sulphur lingers in the air.

After you resurface, visit the museum with exhibitions of the old mining history. There are also time to check out the vintage trains on display or spend some time browsing the museum shop.

Then, head to Orkanger to enjoy a delicious meal at the traditional Bårdshaug Mansion, before heading back to Trondheim, making a photo stop at Nidaros Cathedral. Building of this cathedral begun in 1070, and finished in the 12th century. It's the largest Gothic-style cathedral in Scandinavia, and is built on the grave of Saint Olav, who introduced Christianity to Norway.

Once you have taken plenty of pictures, you will then board the bus for the return journey back to the ship through this pretty town.
