Visit Draken in Arendal

Step aboard a real working Viking ship

Draken Harald Hårfagre is far more than a museum exhibit. She is a fully operational ocean-going Viking ship that has crossed the North Atlantic, trained modern crews in traditional seamanship and recently appeared in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

During your visit, you’ll step aboard the real ship, meet members of the international crew and discover the craftsmanship, history and expeditions behind one of the world’s most remarkable wooden vessels.
