Description
Meet your guide at the entrance to the Vasa Museum and head straight past the ticket line to enter the museum together. Please note that you need to buy tickets to enter the museum.
Learn about the history of the Vasa warship as you explore the museum with your guide. Start with details about the Swedish Empire and the war during which the ship was commissioned, and discover how warnings about the ship's seaworthiness were ignored. Discover why the Vasa eventually sank on its maiden voyage, still within sight of the shipyard where it was built.
Then, listen as your guide explains how the ship was later found and finally salvaged. See the 19th-century maps used to locate the ship and hear about the engineering involved in salvaging the wreck. End your tour with a deeper understanding of the history of the Vasa warship, everything that happened, and how the museum came to be as it is today.
