Welcome to Vikingaheimar.com

Vikingaheimar is the home of the Viking Ship Íslendingur (the Icelander). Built in 1996, Icelander is an exact replica of the famous Gokstad ship, a remarkable archaeological find of an almost completely intact Viking ship, excavated in Norway in 1882.

Vikingaheimar is also a home of a portion of the Viking millennium exhibition produced by the Smithsonian Institution Vikings: The North Atlantic Saga. This exhibition sheds light into the Norse settlement and explorations of unknown lands.

These two fine projects, both celebrating Iceland's central role in the discovery of North America 1000 years ago by the Norse Vikings, have now found a permanent home in Vikingaheimar ,a spectacular modern building, situated right by the Faxafloi bay in the town of Reykjanes and can be easily spotted from the main road between the international airport and Reykjavík.
