Welcome Fall with Freya by bringing your crew to tour the World Famous 1893 Viking Ship in Geneva, Illinois on Saturday, September 19.
This beautiful, full sized, 78 foot long Viking warship was hand-built in Norway in 1893, and based on an original 1000 year old excavated Viking ship. She was sailed by a group of 12 hardy adventurers non-stop across the entire stormy North Atlantic, to become the star attraction of the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition.
