Cultural Expedition by Sea

A Maritime Journey Through Time – for Young Sailors and History Lovers Alike.
Bring your family and friends on an unforgettable cultural voyage in the coastal waters surrounding the island of Als, where history comes alive amid the fjord’s waves and the wake of ancient boats. You’ll travel in RIB boats on a maritime journey through 1,000 years of legends, myths, and ritual ship sacrifices — based on some of Denmark’s most spectacular ancient finds: the Hjortspring Boat, the Nydam Boat, and Sebbe Als.

Join the Cultural Expedition and choose between two exciting expeditions into the distant past:
