Making life a holiday with interesting vacation and adventure ideas.

A replica Viking ship has begun an epic trip across the North Sea to Dublin, Ireland, from the Danish port of Roskilde. The seven week voyage aims to recreate journeys made by the Vikings 1,000 years ago.

The ship, called the Sea Stallion, is only powered by sail, and 65 volunteer crew members who will be rowing and braving the elements on the open deck throughout the trip.

There are some interesting History Holidays in our listings, though most are thought to be less demanding than two months role play as a Viking sailor!
