Upon arrival at the coastal grounds of the Viking Ship Museum, you will discover five original 11th-century Viking vessels and watch master shipwrights actively constructing traditional boats using medieval tools. Next, step down to the harbor to meet your expert museum skipper and board your private reconstructed Viking ship for a seasonal fjord expedition available from May 1st to October 1st. Taking your place at the oars, your group will actively row and set sail across the tranquil waters of Roskilde Fjord, experiencing authentic Norse navigation firsthand.
