Group sailing trips on Roskilde Fjord

Experience how it was to be on board a Viking Ship!
The Viking Ship Museum offers exclusive sailing trips for groups from 1 May to 30 September.

You sail in the Viking Ship Museum’s traditional Nordic boats or reconstructed Viking Ships, where oars and sail are the only means of propulsion. You come close to the water, close to the Viking Age and create memories that last!

It is easy to see that the traditional Nordic boats are closely related to Viking ships. The largest, with room for 6 to 12 guests, has a square sail like a Viking ship. The smaller boats, with room for 8 guests, have traditional Faroese sails.

About the trips

There are three lengths on the trips, 1 time, 1 hour and 20 min., or 1 hour and 50 min.
The trips are including instruction in rowing and allocation of life jackets. An experienced sailing instructor leads every sailing trip. Guests are the crew onboard and play an active part in rowing and setting the sail.
The life jacket must be worn during the entire boat trip.

Eat lunch by the water’s edge

It is possible to book extended trips on the fjord, where groups can go ashore to eat lunch or drink coffee. Café Knarr provide delicious picnic baskets with food based on the New Nordic Viking Food concept, where the individual dishes are prepared using ingredients known by the Vikings and telling stories about life in the Viking Age.

Alcohol: In order not to affect safety on board, we only allow the consumption of a single item of alcohol during the event.
