Historic meetings at the Viking Ship Museum

Inspiring surroundings shaped by history and nature

The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde offers meetings and team-building activities in truly unique historic surroundings by Roskilde Fjord. Guests meet in the heart of Nordic cultural heritage, with views of the fjord and the museum’s world-famous Viking ships. The museum provides exceptional settings for smaller meetings, conferences, and corporate events, where professional content is combined with experiences that strengthen cooperation and team spirit.

Meetings are held among the five original Skuldelev ships in the Viking Ship Hall and on the Museum Island, where the story of Viking shipbuilding, voyages, and maritime skills is brought vividly to life. The historic surroundings create a distinct atmosphere of authenticity and presence, inviting reflection and in-depth focus. At the same time, Roskilde Fjord and the open landscape contribute light, space, and calm, allowing room for new perspectives and inspiring conversations – both during the meeting and in breaks.

Active team building on the fjord

The Viking Ship Museum offers sailing on Roskilde Fjord in traditional Nordic wooden boats built according to Viking Age principles. Using oars and sails – like real Vikings – cooperation, communication, and shared responsibility become a natural part of the experience as the entire group works together to move the boat forward safely and smoothly.

Team building can also be combined with Viking-inspired games and activities on land, where participants are challenged through cooperation, strategy, and joint problem-solving. The maritime surroundings and the historical context create an active and memorable setting that strengthens relationships and team cohesion.

Meeting rooms and catering

The museum offers flexible meeting rooms in various sizes, suitable for smaller groups and corporate events. The rooms are located in direct connection with the exhibitions and the fjord and can be arranged according to the programme of the day – from traditional meetings and workshops to more informal gatherings. The historic surroundings give the meeting a distinctive character, supporting both concentration and creative dialogue.

Nordic food and living stories

Combine the meeting day with Nordic flavours from Café Knarr, which offers meeting packages based on local ingredients inspired by the Viking Age. Guided tours and storytelling about Viking craftsmanship, voyages, and maritime life can also be added, presented in the midst of the museum’s authentic exhibitions and boatyard environments.
