Viking World runs sightseeing day tours in Reykjanes & Blue Lagoon, starting from Njarðvík. We book them directly, so what you see here is their own availability and their own cancellation policy — at the same price you'd pay them.
“Step aboard Íslendingur, the full-size Viking ship that sailed to New York in 2000. Most ship museums keep you behind a rope; here you walk onto the deck. Ten minutes from Keflavík Airport, on the Blue Lagoon route, fully indoor and open daily, a dependable stop when weather cancels an outdoor tour. A visit takes 45 to 90 minutes. Coach parking, café with sea views, free Viking dress-up and photo booth. Group, cruise and school rates. Instant confirmation, same-day bookings.”

All of the above is computed from Viking World's own 2 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.
From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company. Their own site: vikingworld.is — same price there as here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Viking Experience in Iceland Visiting the Viking World Museum in Keflavík was one of the highlights of our time in Iceland. The museum offers a fascinating journey into Viking history, culture, exploration, and mythology, presented in a way that is both educational and engaging. The centerpiece of the museum, the magnificent Viking ship Íslendingur, is truly impressive. Seeing a full-scale Viking ship up close gives you a real appreciation for the courage, craftsmanship, and seafaring skills of the Viking explorers who crossed the North Atlantic centuries ago. The exhibitions are thoughtfully curated, covering everything from the Viking settlement of Iceland to Norse mythology and the legendary voyages to North America. The displays are informative, well-organized, and suitable for visitors of all ages. What makes this museum special is how it brings history to life. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels authentic and inspiring. Whether you are interested in history, archaeology, Viking culture, or simply want to learn more about Iceland’s unique heritage, this museum is absolutely worth visiting. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling through Keflavík or the Reykjanes Peninsula. A true hidden gem of Iceland and a must-see for history lovers. 5/5 – Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Viking World was an excellent museum and a fascinating place to learn about Iceland's Viking heritage. The highlight is the full-size Viking ship Íslendingur, and being able to walk aboard it gives you a real sense of what these incredible vessels were like. Seeing the craftsmanship up close was unforgettable. The exhibits on Leif Erikson, Erik the Red, and the Vinland voyages were informative and engaging, and the displays explaining Viking exploration and daily life were easy to follow. The museum strikes a great balance between history and interactive experiences without feeling overcrowded. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just curious about Iceland's Viking past, Viking World is definitely worth visiting. It was one of my favorite stops in Iceland and gave me an even greater appreciation for the skill and determination of the Viking explorers.

Fantastic place to read and understand the history of Iceland with stunning coastal location, free to enter. Great display of replica viking longboat. Free wifi too.

The highlight is getting to step on the real functional longship used to sail to America in 2000. It really gives a sense of perspective: such a huge build from human scale, but so terrifyingly small and vulnerable from an "ocean going vessel" perspective. Vikings crossed the north Atlantic on open decks like this with no shelter from the elements and about half of them sank (which is also the approximate success rate of modern recreations. ) The ship by itself is about 6/5 stars, but the rest of it is just a cute and simple children's museum with a few big sign boards. I read all of them thoroughly, took tons of photos, watched the short video, stared out the viewing window at the sea, and am literally just trying to pass time from my flight arrival at 7 am until my friend's flight arrives at 3pm, and I still ran out of things to do in about two hours. So the rest of the museum is more like a 3/5 for being so miniscule. They have a cafe (closed today) and a lot of tables so maybe if they added wifi and plugs it would be a really great place to sit around and study or read while waiting for airport things. It's more of a decorative hangout space near the really cool ship than a museum. There are some very cool Greenland Inuit carvings, fwiw.
