Our Viking ship will launch on Steinsfjorden August 30th, 2025!
The idea to build a Viking ship sprouted from a similar project in Tønsberg, where the Oseberg ship was reconstructed in 2012. Hardraade’s vision is to create a vibrant platform that celebrates Norwegian Viking history, craftsmanship, and culture.

This incredible historical project is the result of countless hours of volunteer work and a passionate dedication to our history. The launch marks a major milestone in the project and offers us a unique opportunity to experience how Vikings sailed thousands of years ago.

New attraction at the shipyard!
The Rune house is now in place, and here you can experience an exciting part of the Viking Age.
Inside the house, you can see how runestones were created with traditional tools and methods. At the same time, you'll learn about the history and significance behind the runes, which were not just a written language but also an expression of culture and identity.
The Vikings were skilled artisans, artists, and storytellers. This is a crucial part of our history and cultural heritage.
