Danish Easter Holiday at the Viking Ship Museum

Every day during the Easter holidays, the Viking king Svend Tveskæg invites you to go on a voyage around the world to bring the most important new goods and ideas back to Denmark.

On the voyage, you will meet merchants from three of the great trading cities of the Viking Age; Hedeby, Paris and Constantinople.

What do you think the king will be most excited for you to bring home?
