1.5hr Hour Viking Ship Experience in Bergen Harbor & Fjord
About
Experience fjords and the Bergen waterfront in an exceptionally Norwegian way aboard a square sail Viking-style ship! Viking Voyages operates numerous trips per day out of Bryggen in Bergen’s inner harbor, Trips are 1.5 hours and will take participants along Bergen’s iconic waterfront and spectacular fjord. Sailing is a priority and our route will be dictated by wind conditions. Regardless of weather, guests are guaranteed an authentically ancient sailing experience. Aboard the ship, guests can admire the elegant ship-building techniques developed by the Vikings and participate in a centuries old style of sailing using a square shaped sail.
The tour will include fascinating insights into the Viking age, Bergen history, and Norwegian coast culture. Fishing equipment is available on board and mackerel are abundant in the summer. Some refreshments are provided but feel free to bring your own food and drink including beer or wine.
What to bring
Please arrive with adequate clothing for sailing and rainy weather. There is very limited shelter on the ship. Moderate mobility and physical ability is required for embarking and moving about the vessel. We look forward to sharing this unique experience with you!
Booking Notes
We look forward to sharing this authentic and interactive Norwegian experience with you.
Please come well prepared with warm and water resistant clothing. Temperatures on the fjord are cooler than on land and there is limited protection from rain and wind on board the vessel.
Sailing will be canceled in the case of significantly adverse weather conditions. There is a basic toilet facility aboard, but the space does not have standing headroom and some may find it’s use somewhat impractical. Guests are encouraged to utilize the public facilities located directly on the pick-up quay before departure. Please arrive at the meeting location on Dreggekaien in Bryggen at least 5min before scheduled sailing. If the ship is not there when you arrive, don't panic! Rest assured we are on the way to you. Meeting location pictured below.
See you then!
