Once a year, for a handful of days in June, the Viking Age comes back to life on the very ground where it began. This is your chance to stand in it — not read about it.

Immerse Yourself in the Heart of the Viking Age

Join us for an exclusive 8-day expedition into the land of the Viking Kings. From the ancient royal seat at Avaldsnes to the vibrant atmosphere of the world-renowned Viking Festival, this journey blends living history, spectacular fjord landscapes, and authentic Norse culture — with private transfers throughout.

Highlights

• The Avaldsnes Viking Festival — Norway's largest Viking festival, running only once a year
• Avaldsnes — the historic royal seat of Norway's Viking kings, at the Nordvegen History Centre
• Sverd i Fjell — the monument marking the 872 AD battle that unified Norway
• Lysefjord Cruise — beneath Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), through dramatic fjord scenery
• Skudeneshavn — one of Norway's best-preserved wooden coastal towns
• Interactive Living History — reconstructed Viking village life, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences at the festival grounds
• The Grand Farewell Feast
  

Why I Designed It This Way

The Avaldsnes Viking Festival happens on a fixed date, once a year — this journey is built entirely around that window, so you experience it at its fullest rather than as a rushed add-on to a longer trip. Your key activities are personally guided, and private transfers handle the ground between stops, so nothing is left to public timetables during a week when the region is at its busiest.

Included

• Hotels throughout your journey
• Private transfers between destinations
• Guided activities and experiences, including full festival access
• Most meals, including your Grand Farewell Feast
• Full trip planning and on-call support throughout your journey
