An evening on the fjord

Sunset Sailing Trips on Roskilde Fjord

Sail into the sunset and gain an insight into the art of sailing with square sails.

The Viking Ship Museum’s evening voyages take place in traditional Nordic wooden boats. These boats are descendants of the Viking ships and represent a shared Nordic cultural heritage that can be traced back more than 1,000 years.

On this atmospheric trip, you become an active part of the voyage – you’ll take part in rowing out of the harbour, help hoist the sail and manoeuvre the ship, and maybe even have the chance to steer the boat yourself. Along the way, our experienced skippers share stories about square‑sail traditions dating right back to the Viking Age.

We plan the route according to wind and weather, but one thing is certain: you’ll get close to the beautiful landscapes of Roskilde Fjord, and we include a stop on land along the way. The voyage concludes around sunset – the perfect end to a summer evening.

Shared meal included

During the trip, we enjoy a cosy shared meal consisting of a freshly made sandwich and a fruit juice.
