It is a rich history. The Viking history is an important part of our identity [...]
That is what they are so good at here. To make it exciting, involving and fun to learn about the history. [...] through doing things like this.
It is about understanding our historical heritage. It is about being able to step into a world full of myths and heroic tales. [...] And seeing this mighty ship, which has risen from a charred ship burial. Like a phoenix. It is an enormous achievement. And many passionate individuals and volunteers stand behind it.
Norway has already demonstrated how Viking heritage can be presented responsibly and compellingly. One of the best examples is Sagastad, the Viking museum in Nordfjordeid built around a full-scale reconstruction of the Myklebust ship. [...] The project anchored it in its local context, turning a quiet fjord town into a cultural destination. The result is immersive and rooted in place.
This will be an exciting tourism venture for the entire country. It has great potential, not just here, but throughout Norway. We give you the name the Myklebust Ship, named after the ship in the burial mound at Myklebust where King Audbjørn began his final journey nearly 1,150 years ago. May luck and good fortune follow you, your crew, and all on board across all seas.
The number one thing to expect when visiting fjords in Norway is to be stopped in your tracks by how beautiful they are. [...] Factor in a visit to Sagastad Viking Center. It’s the location of the extraordinary Myklebust, a 98-foot Viking ship, the largest ever discovered in Norway... Sagastad is a great place to learn more about Viking culture.
I am impressed by the Myklebust Ship, that they managed to build such a large Viking ship from the ship remains that were found. We see that people are interested in history, and that such structures attract travelers. [...] I will return to Nordfjordeid and Sagastad.
It is an important part of the cultural heritage [...] That I should receive the honorable task [of participating as a lawspeaker on board the Myklebust Ship], is a memory of a lifetime. It was an incredibly fun day, and very nice and kind Vikings. If there are more wild Viking ideas, I will support them. Absolutely awesome!
The moment I saw the Myklebust Ship – this fantastic, incredible ship – I knew I just had to do it. This was the heaviest thing I have ever pulled. [...] But somewhere deep inside me, I knew that no matter what, I had to get this ship to move.
