Sail through the historic Bergen harbor and surrounding fjord on a traditional-style Viking ship. This 1.5-hour experience offers insight into coastal Norwegian heritage while following the course of wind and weather aboard a square-sailed vessel.

Step aboard a Viking-style ship and explore the Bergen waterfront and fjord in a uniquely historic way. Departing from Bryggen, this 1.5-hour sailing trip follows the traditions of Norse seafarers, using a square sail and the wind’s direction to guide your route. Depending on the weather, expect different perspectives of the harbor and the surrounding coastline.

While onboard, your crew shares stories from the Viking Age, alongside local maritime and Bergen history. You’ll also get to see firsthand the wooden craftsmanship that echoes shipbuilding techniques from over a thousand years ago. During the summer months, mackerel fishing is possible with equipment provided onboard.
