Rygerfjord Hostel
The Rygerfjord Hostel is actually a boat with 70 cabins and 200 beds for travelers to stay overnight. This ship was originally commissioned in 1950 and sailed extensively along the coasts of Norway and Sweden. The Rygerfjord was docked and converted into a floating hostel in 1999. There is an original maritime ambiance at this hostel, and tasteful antique chairs and Persian rugs in the lounges add to the classic atmosphere. A breakfast buffet is available, and a small restaurant also serves affordable meals for lunch and dinner. Internet access is one other nice feature aboard this unique floating hostel.
