Sailing trips at Roskilde Fjord

As the only place in the world, during the summer season you can walk directly from the experience of the original 1000 year old Viking ships in the Viking Ship Hall to the Museum Harbour, where full-size reconstructions of Viking ships are moored.

Step aboard one of the descendants of the Viking ships, a Nordic wooden boat, and row out onto Roskilde Fjord!
