Permanently moored in Gothenburg Harbor, the four-masted Barken Viking was constructed in 1906 and stands as one of the largest ships ever built in Scandinavia. Initially serving as a merchant vessel, the ship has since been repurposed into a unique floating hotel. Visitors can now experience the maritime history and charm of this historic vessel, which, despite its name, has no connection to the Norse warriors. The Barken Viking offers a distinctive stay, blending the allure of the sea with the comfort of modern accommodations.
