Set sail in a Viking ship
Sail 1000 years back in time aboard one of the museum's recreated Viking ships. Sailing in a Viking ship can only be booked for groups.
Safety on board
The Vikings didn't have life jackets, but we do. Read about safety on board the boats here.
As the only place in the world, during the summer season you can step directly from the experience of the original, 1000-year-old Viking ships in the Viking Ship Hall to the Museum Harbour, where numerous Nordic wooden boats and impressive full-scale reconstructions of Viking ships are moored.
Step aboard one of the descendants of the Viking ships – a handcrafted Nordic wooden boat – and row out onto Roskilde Fjord, just as the Vikings did a thousand years ago.
