Viking Adventure from The Viking Planet in the city to Avaldsnes!

Begin your journey in the heart of Haugesund’s charming city center, just a 15-minute walk from the cruise terminal. Explore the town’s shops, cafes, and vibrant streets before stepping into the world of the Vikings—past and future.

Tour Highlights:

  • 🧠 The Viking Planet – Digital Viking Museum

  • Your first stop is The Viking Planet Haugesund, a state-of-the-art digital museum that brings Viking history to life through immersive technology, 3D animation, and cinematic storytelling. Produced in part by Ridley Scott, this museum offers a powerful introduction to Viking culture, mythology, and warfare.

  • Don’t miss the AI-driven selfie station, where you can transform yourself into a Viking warrior and take home a unique digital memory!

  • Stay as long as you like—our guide will meet you outside at the time stated for tour start.

  • At time stated, you’ll be picked up for a scenic boat ride across the strait to Avaldsnes—Norway’s oldest royal seat.

  • ⚔️ Visit to the Viking Farm at Avaldsnes

  • The journey continues at the authentic Viking Farm, famously featured in the Netflix series Norsemen. Surrounded by dramatic landscapes, you’ll walk among reconstructed longhouses, hear the stories from a local expert guide at Avaldsnes, and for the children, there are Viking activities tailored. You stay here for approximately one hour.

    «Our trip was well organised, timely, informative and good fun thanks to our guide. The Viking Village gave a good insight in to the lives of the Viking rather than the picture painted by Film & TV. My wife damaged her blouse on a sharp object on the boat and Viking Adventures were brilliant in handling the issue and arranging compensation, they could not have been more helpful. Book direct if you’re on a cruise as it’s much cheaper than the on board fee.»

    «As a family of seven we booked a tour with viking adventure as soon as we came off our p&o cruise, as they are outside on the dock.. Our tour was a boat ride over to the viking village farm on a lovely big boat, then we had a rib boat to the viking museum into the town. Our tour guide was Andes, and for his first time doing a solo tour he was very knowledgeable & answered every question we asked him. He was also very friendly . Andes was with us throughout the tour. We all really enjoyed the tour.»
