The Viking Ship Museum offers a number of courses that provide insight into the maritime skills of the Vikings. 
This summer, we are once again offering the much sought-after full-day course ‘Learn to sail a Viking ship’, where participants learn how to sail a Viking ship using the special square sail technique.

Course: Learn to sail a Viking ship

The Viking Ship Museum offers this full-day course for those who want to try their hand at sailing a Viking ship.

A great sailing experience awaits you, because this is the real thing when students board the fishing boat ‘Kraka Fyr’ or the warship ‘Helge Ask’.
