Sagasund - 130 pax

First-class fjord boat.

Sagasund, formerly Tyrihans, was built at Ulstein mek.Verksted as a modern fjord boat. She first operated Oslo-Nesodden for 25 years before being sold to Sweden where she has had various missions and routes since then. Now, local forces have once again brought this proud ship back to her home regions, where she carries tourists and locals on fjord cruises out of Ålesund.Sagasund has beautiful salons with large windows, and is therefore very suitable for sightseeing trips. There is also plenty of space out on the deck, so guests can move freely around, inside and out.
