Valkyrie, our Northwest Viking Ship, is now on the water having undergone rigorous Coast Guard inspection.  We are excited to explore the majestic waters of the Pacific Northwest! Future plans include visiting Deception Pass, Poulsbo, Ballard, Anacortes, Coupeville, La Conner, San Juan Islands, and Point Roberts.

Stay tuned for our summer 2025 schedule and be sure to sign up for our email list below to stay informed about upcoming locations and events.

Valkyrie is a magnificent 56 foot hand-crafted vessel — marrying traditional, old-world craftsmanship with sturdy timbers from native trees, some as old as the Vikings themselves — responsibly harvested from Pacific Northwest forests.

A unique and historic replica, Valkyrie is based on the ancient recovered ship ‘Skuldelev 6′, a Norwegian-built Viking ship unearthed after one thousand years from the waters at Roskilde, Denmark. She is certified as an inspected passenger vessel by the US Coast Guard for voyages on the Salish Sea and, if Odin will assent to it, lands far beyond. In this regard, Valkyrie is the first and only one of her kind in the United States!

Throughout Valkyrie’s construction, every effort was made by the shipwright and journeymen to produce a seaworthy vessel of both superior performance and enduring merit. This attention to excellence in an age of fast-paced mass production is rare — matching our mission to create a vessel of hope and goodwill through which our projects will make a positive contribution to our corner of the Salish Sea.

Valkyrie will offer a way to engage in the story of our Viking ancestors and learn centuries old nautical skills while connecting to the unique spirit of the Pacific Northwest.  

It will also offer an invitation to discover something new… to create memorable stories… to celebrate important rites of passage… to pause from today’s hectic life … to sharpen one’s senses… to experience adventure… and to have fun with friends, old and new.

Our passion for Viking maritime heritage drives us to thoughtfully craft each experience to be both authentic and meaningful. Come aboard and let Valkyrie be your gateway to adventure, where every journey promises to leave you with cherished memories and a longing for the next horizon. All are welcome!
