Free entrance!
Southern Actor is the only whaling boat from the modern whaling epoch still found in its original working order. You find it at the museum wharf in Sandefjord. We can offer tours up to 45 passengers with Southern Actor from May to September. Food and drinks can be ordered. We recommend peas, meat and bacon or pea-soup with rolls – true sailor food!
The boat was built in Middlesborough in England in 1950 for the shipping company Chr.Salvesen and participated in whaling until it was laid up in 1962. After a long period as a whaling boat, the boat ended up in North Spain where it was supposed to be destroyed. However, by a coincidence, a Norwegian whaler found it and sent it back to Norway.
On 25 October 1989, Southern Actor arrived in Sandefjord. The Whalers Club of Sandefjord started with the restoration of the boat. Their goal has been to restore the boat to working order, enabling it to undertake different assignments as part of the museum.
With a three-cylinder steam engine, the whaling boat is exceptionally quiet and the engine can hardly be heard on deck. A popular trip is to sail from Sandefjord to Tønsberg.

How about fresh sea air and sunny days at the seaside hotel in Nevlunghavn.
Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri has always had the magic you expect from a seaside hotel that you come back to. Golden glasses with fresh mocktails and shellfish on white tablecloths. The combination of rough sea and delicate sugar pretzels from the pastry shop, kids fishing for crabs, partying under the chandeliers with a view of sailboats under the full moon. A hint of cigar in the night. Beach guests, that is!
Welcome to the hotel's 15 small but beautiful rooms with good beds and the details that make the difference between a beach guest and an ordinary guest. Wrap yourself in your bathrobe, take a refreshing morning bath before breakfast, walk around idyllic Nevlunghavn and look forward to lovely summer days.
As a guest at the seaside hotel, you have placed yourself in the middle of the food platter; the proximity to the Skagerak means daily access to fresh ingredients such as freshly cooked shrimp, crayfish and fish. Everyone deserves a few days as a beach guest – welcome to Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri.
