In connection with fire safety work at the fishing village of Grip, archaeologists from the county municipality have made discoveries that may provide a better understanding of the island’s history.
An experience to remember
Journey back in time with Gripruta
Gripruta operates daily departures from Kristiansund to Grip from the last weekend in May through the last weekend in August each year.
During the season, we offer nearly 6,000 locals and visitors the opportunity to experience the unique and historic fishing village out in the open sea.
This is a trip you will never forget — a historical gem in the Nordmøre region, a true symbol of Norway’s fishing villages and the importance of coastal culture in the country's development.
The 2026 season will be available for booking starting February 1st.
We offer group tours to Grip and other unique destinations in Nordmøre all year round. Contact Gripruta.
Useful information
Dogs and pets must be in a cage or carrier during the crossing. Place the carrier on the floor/deck. Any exceptions are decided by the crew. Remember to keep your dog on a leash and be vigilant about bird life. Dogs are not allowed in the stave church or the cafe.
We have wheelchair access on the vessel, but there are restrictions due to tides. Please contact us before ordering a ticket for wheelchair users.
Recommended parking in the Storkaia Parkeringhus or at Gassverktomta by Kulturfabrikken.
If you cannot find available slots on your desired day when booking tickets online, unfortunately, we are sold out.
