Follow in the footsteps of the vikings as Valiente sails from the West coast of Scotland, to the Orkney and Shetland islands before finishing in Bergen, Norway.

Join expedition yacht Valiente as it sets sail from Oban harbour on the West coast of Scotland, towards the Orkney Islands and later crossing the North Sea to reach the Norwegian coast. The region west of Vestlandet, just across the North Sea, is a sailor’s paradise that has been explored and ruled by our Norse ancestors since the Viking Age.

On this voyage, we will keep an eye out for traces of the Norse in the Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands, and other parts of Scotland, which were once part of the Norwegian Empire. This trip promises to be an exciting sailing adventure as we make our way from Scotland to Norway.
