A project to make the Eidfjord waterfront more attractive and accessible is underway.
The plan is to improve on the current layout which connects the Sjobua (Sea House) and the beaches with the town centre. In addition, the area around Sjobua will be enhanced, including seating steps by the beaches and a walkway around the entire building.
Phase 1 was completed in May. This included the expansion of the quay and promenade, with an emphasis on ensuring everyone can walk along the promenade with easy access to and from the town square, Sjobua, and the existing path along the main road, without needing to take long detours.
Phase 2 envisages a larger gathering space/town square in the centre of Eidfjord. This could be used for selling food and various goods, as well as for different events. A design has yet to be determined.
This year, there were 87 calls, bringing 175,229 passengers. Ships range in size from 125,572 AIDAprima to 47,842gt Viking Sky to 28,890gt Europa from Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.
