Oslo’s Viking Planet is a 2-hour interactive Viking experience with VR movies, 270-degree cinema, holograms, and 3D ship artifacts.

One day from Bergen with Viking history, Nærøyfjord cruise, and the Flåm and Bergen Lines trains, plus major waterfall stops.
“My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Norway and decided to make the most of our time in Bergen by booking this tour. It is jam packed and worth every penny. We didn’t want to close our eyes because every few seconds there was something amazing to see. Pictures do not do it justice. Ivan, our tour guide was genuinely a wonderful person and you can tell he loves what he does. Linda our driver was also incredible, very sweet and drove very smoothly! My one complaint was that I wish we could have spent more time at each stop. However, the itinerary is so packed, it…”
Pre-book The Viking Planet in Oslo for a digital Viking museum with holograms, 3D artifacts, a VR film, and free Wi-Fi for selfie snaps.
“Interesting exhibits on Viking life, but the crowds were excessive & made it difficult to move around. Aisles were very narrow and kept people from moving on to the next exhibit.”
Bergen day trip with Tvindefossen, Njardarheimr Viking Village, UNESCO Nærøyfjord cruise, and the famous Flåm Railway.
“This was an amazing day from start to finish! So glad we did it. Not cheap but it was worth the money.”
Sail Bergen Harbor on a small Viking-style longboat. Hear captain stories, hoist sails, and fish when weather allows. 90 minutes.
“If you want to truly feel like a Viking, you must take this tour! My son's captain was a super cool, kind, and funny man, and not to mention a brilliant navigator, named Zach. Not only does he take you on an amazing sight-seeing journey on the seas around Bergen, but he also really enhances the experience by letting people participate in the setup and direction of the ship. Zach is also highly knowledgeable about Bergen, so feel free to ask him all the questions you want!”

3-hour Haugesund Viking cruise: sail to Viking Farm at Avaldsnes, then explore the digital Viking Planet museum.
“Enjoyed all the information we received about Viking life. Our guide was excellent. He has dual citizenship in Norway and Australia and was well spoken with great insights into Norwegian life too. The farm was very interesting. The young lady in costume that was our guide there was very knowledgeable about Viking life. We found the visit to Viking planet to be very informative. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures with a green screen that turned us into Vikings. Would recommend this if you want to understand the Viking history and lifestyle.”

Climb Norway’s Viking Wall via ferrata from sea level near Bodø, with safety gear, friendly guides, and ocean views from 57m.
“Very nice climb above the sea, the holds make it easy enough so anyone could climb it but you can challenge yourself by holding on to the rock. The guide was very friendly and had some good stories. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun outdoor Experience near Bodø!”
One guided day in Bergen featuring Viking Village, Nærøyfjord cruise, and the Flåm Railway. Timed for maximum sights.
“This incorporates all the best of the area in one trip at a reasonable cost. Our driver was humourous and gave great history and information on our drive to Gudvagen. After that you are on your ie. but his instructions were so clear we couldn’t go wrong. The Viking village was fun, the cruise up the fjord was wonderful, the sights on the Flam railway were stunning and then the trip by train back to Bergen was relaxing with more beauty out every window. There are no meals supplied but if you eat a big breakfast there are lots of places to get snacks at the Viking village, the ferry…”
