The Viking Ship Museum
The first Norwegian explorers were the infamous Vikings, who have gained a reputation as ruthless raiders – but also as skilled ship-builders, craftsmen, traders and storytellers. Get the whole picture at the Viking Ship Museum, which houses an impressive amount of jewellery, tools and vehicles. The museum also has two of the best preserved Viking ships in the world, built in the 9th century.

Arctic explorations and the Fram ship
In the 1800s and early 1900s, Roald Amundsen and Frithiof Nansen made history with their spectacular journeys to the South Pole and the Northeast Passage along the coast of Siberia, respectively. The wooden ship Fram, which was used in both journeys, still holds the record for sailing farthest north and farthest south.

At the Fram Museum, you can go on board to experience how the crew and their dogs lived in the Arctic and the Antarctic – two of the coldest and most dangerous places on earth.

Kon-Tiki and Pacific explorations
The last stop is to the Kon-Tiki Museum, where you find the original vessels from Thor Heyerdahl’s renowned expeditions, revived to world-wide fame once again in 2012 with the Oscar-winning film Kon-Tiki. Heyerdahl is also famous for crossing the Pacific Ocean on a raft in 1947 and for discovering the Easter Island with its huge statues.

Practical information
The excursion can be enjoyed all year. It is suitable for groups of all types and sizes and makes a welcome break from your business meetings. Allow at least half a day to get the most out of the three museum visits.

Try a fun, action-packed incentive that will involve the whole team. The group is divided into smaller teams that will compete against each other in activities like ski jumping (performed in the small ski jump), tobogganing, cross-country skiing, biathlon and blindfolded slalom without skis.

You will be able to follow each team through large screens and the speaker boxes.

This incentive is suitable for large groups and takes the whole day. After the competitions, there will be a medal prize ceremony followed by dinner.

The arena
The Holmenkollen National Arena in Olso is one of the most visited tourist sights in Norway. Its first large sporting event was the 1952 Winter Olympics, but it has been in use for more than 100 years. Today, the main attraction of the arena is no doubt the impressive ski jump. The world’s oldest ski museum, showing more than 4,000 years of skiing history, is another popular attraction.
