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’.

Safety on board

You can safely step aboard the Viking Ship Museum's vessels. We have done everything necessary to ensure that the sailings are carried out in a safe and secure manner, so that the experience and joy of sailing is optimal for you as a passenger.

Daily summer sailings

Join one of the daily sailings from 01 May - 30 September and experience what it was like to be a Viking on board one of the Viking Ship Museum's traditional Nordic boats.

Evening trips on the fjord

Sail into the sunset while experiencing the special atmosphere on the water as day turns to evening.

Along the way, the skipper will tell you about the museum's special work to preserve the Nordic cultural heritage. 

Group sailing in traditional Nordic boats

Invite your family, colleagues or friends to a very special experience in a historical setting with modern maritime safety. During the summer season, we sail daily on Roskilde Fjord with companies, organisations, families and other groups.

Group sailing in a reconstruction of a Viking ship
