Bergen Fjord Experience Aboard Viking-style Ship
Description
Guests will get the experience of sailing like a Viking. The ship itself is a direct descendant of the Viking Age. There are very few of these vessels in existence and almost none available for public participation. It's a tour full of excitement, rich in history, and truly a unique and interactive experience.

The tour was canceled just under 24h before the appointment due to a lack of staff. Our children would have been very happy, but nothing else can be found on such short notice. In the middle of peak season, such a reason should not/must not happen.
Operator called and cancelled our booking an hour before the experience. To be fair he said it might have been a mistake of Viator as the tour was not supposed to be available for the time it showed on Viator and we booked it. Anyway from a customer perspective last min cancellation from the operator was not fun. Be careful.
It's a fun and hands on experience if you participate. Also, it can be a fun boat ride if you choose to sit, have a drink and watch.
Once in a lifetime experience. Found it by accident it's totally worth the investment. There's a longer fjord cruise but it doesn't beat the experience.
Very nice boat ride, even though we unfortunately had too little wind to sail.
I surprised my husband, a sailor, with this excursion, and he loved it. It helped that we had beautiful weather. It was very educational as the boat’s owner provided details of the Norwegian fishing boat built in the style of the Viking ships. We really got to sail, which was critical to the experience. Many sights around the fjord were pointed out.
Zach and Jeremy, our captain and crew were great. They were personable , informative, and easy to talk to. Was a fun an interesting experience.
the trip was fun, sad there weren't much wind but it was still a nice activity away from downtown bustle
Zach was a great captain and the gentleman helping him (French man) was very nice. I do wish there was more information given about the harbor and how the Vikings used the boats etc. it was a bit boring as all we did was sit in the boat. Past reviews mentioned rowing and even some fishing.
A superb experience. Experienced and knowledgeable staff. There were nine of us on the boat. Explored the fjord just outside of Bergen. Really enjoyed the sailing part. Lots of information given about sailing and Bergen. Be aware it is uncovered at all times but we had no problem in rain as had right clothing. Great time!!!
