It's Skibladner!
http://www.skibladner.no/engelsk/index.htm
''-"Skibladner" is the pride of Norway's inland. Launched in 1856, she is the world's oldest paddle steamer in scheduled service, and is celebrating 150 years in 2006.-''

You'l find her at the lake Mjøsa, in the south part of Norway - not far from the Olympic (1994) willage Lillehammer - a couple hours ride from Oslo.
