Viking Voyages AS operates traditional Viking ship experiences from Bergen in Vestland, Norway. The company runs short public sailings and private voyages aboard a restored square-sail vessel, offering passengers an introduction to Norway’s maritime heritage. Trips depart from Bergen Harbor and combine hands-on sailing demonstrations, narrated history, and scenic views of the waterfront and nearby fjords.
On the 1.5 Hour Viking Voyage, guests sail on a traditional square sail vessel, learn about Viking history and culture, and may fish during the trip; passengers are welcome to bring their own refreshments. For groups seeking a private experience, the Private Voyage accommodates up to 12 guests aboard the vessel Storskarven, focusing on authentic sailing techniques and storytelling about the Viking age. Viking Voyages AS emphasizes historical interpretation and an authentic sailing experience rather than modern cruise amenities.
The company’s offerings are practical for visitors who want a short cultural excursion or a private maritime outing while in Bergen. Safety procedures and local regulations are followed for operations in Bergen Harbor and surrounding waters. Public and private trips provide opportunities to see fjord and waterfront scenery from a traditional vessel. As a Bergen-based operator, Viking Voyages AS is clearly identified with the city’s maritime activity and maritime tourism. Interested visitors can choose between the scheduled 1.5-hour voyage and private bookings for small groups aboard Storskarven; booking information is available upon inquiry.
