Sagastad is proud to announce that the much anticipated next sea launch of the Myklebust ship will be held during April 2025.
The event will take place from April 23rd to April 30th. The program can be found below.
We are now releasing the first 50 early bird seats for the public. The next tickets will drop during January 2025.
Each early bird seat costs NOK 3000. The ticket includes a seat on the ship for a voyage that lasts approximately 2.5 hours. You also gain access to the event area in and outside of Sagastad, and the required rowing training with smaller vessels prior to the actual voyage.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities and lots of additional activities taking place in and around Sagastad during the launch.
Welcome to Nordfjordeid; The Viking Destination!
Program
This is a general outline. We are currently planning lots of activities each day with our partners. The program is subject to change due to weather or other variables. See the times for the journeys here.
Wednesday April 23rd: The launch event itself will take place on this day. Based on tide we expect to start preparations during the morning, and have the ship floating by approximately 14:00. Expect a lot of surprises during this day! The public will be able to view the launch in the event area between 10:00 and 18:00. Ticketsale and access to the event area will be dictated by safety and progress of the launch. Tickets for this will cost the same as regular entry to Sagastad and will only be available on site. Due to safety there will be a designated area for viewing. If you have purchased a rowing seat entrance will be complimentary.
