Biggest voyages
All voyages contribute to our knowledge of Viking ships and sailing, but we have more material from some trips than others. Here we have collected the largest and best covered voyages over the years.
On these pages you can read all about previous trips and see the ships' routes on interactive maps, where you can find links to logbooks, diaries and information about the historical sites the ships sail by on their travels.
Enjoy!
