Information

Viking Age

Tønsberg Harbour outside Quality Hotel, or on the other side of the bridge.

Description

Arriving at Tønsberg harbour you will be met by our captain – høvedsmann – and taken on board the Saga Oseberg. He will literally show you the ropes before you are ready to leave the harbour, heading for more open waters. It will take some time before you will fall into the rhythm, but with the aid and support of our regular crew you´ll soon behave like real Viking rowers!

While on board you will hear the exciting story of the Oseberg ship, the women buried with it, the Vikings and how our own Saga Oseberg came into being. And like all real Vikings you are of course eager to compete with each other! Where are the real Vikings among us – port side or starboard? 

Welcome to check out your Viking genes on board the Saga Oseberg!

Minimum of 15 people. Everyone must be able to participate in rowing and understand Norwegian or English. If too much wind the trip will be cancelled.
