Sail into the sunset in a traditional Nordic boat">
Enjoy the beautiful, red light from the summer sunset over Roskilde Fjord up close, and learn more about the sailing technique used by the Vikings
The traditional Nordic boats are clinker-built, like the rest of the Viking Ship Museums boats, which is a tradition that goes all the way back to the Viking age. This is how the Vikings built their own boats, and therefore the museum has replicated this style, as well as the materials used for building the boats
During the evening sailing on Roskilde Fjord, the sailing instructor will tell you more about working and sailing reconstructed Viking Ships.
Furthermore, you get an introduction to sailing and maneuvering a traditional clink-built boat, how to work the oars and handling a square sail. Aboard the boat, you are a part of the crew and therefore you're participating actively when rowing and setting the sail.
We plan to go ashore along the way, if the weather is favorable. Participants are welcome to bring their own packed lunches and enjoy an evening coffee.
Look forward to the thrill of sailing with oars, square sails and the smell of wood tar in the air - and to enjoying the special atmosphere as day turns to night.
