Most ship museums keep you behind a rope. Here your group walks up and steps onto the deck of Íslendingur, a full-size Viking ship that actually sailed. In the summer of 2000 she crossed the North Atlantic from Iceland to L'Anse aux Meadows and on to New York, retracing Leif Erikson's voyage a thousand years later.
A visit takes 45 to 90 minutes and includes going aboard the ship and hearing her story, animated films on how she was built, the voyage itself and the story of the Vegvísir, and our photo booth where guests dress in Viking clothing and take their photograph at no extra cost. There is a café with views over the harbour and the open Atlantic, a children's corner, and a shop.
