Strap on a VR headset and be transported to 914 AD as a Viking warrior defending Waterford — Ireland's oldest city — in this multi-award-winning immersive experience. Cutting-edge technology brings the Norse founders of 'Vadrefjord' to vivid, thundering life.
What to expect
Donning VR headsets, you become a Viking settler navigating the streets of 10th-century Waterford — hearing Norse battle cries, watching longships arrive, and making decisions that shaped a city. The experience is expertly narrated and blends archaeology with cinematic storytelling. After the VR journey, the wider exhibition features authentic Viking artefacts and interactive displays that deepen the context. The whole experience sits inside the Viking Triangle, Waterford's compact medieval quarter.
Good to know
Located in the Viking Triangle, a 10–15 minute walk from the port. Combine with the Medieval Museum and Reginald's Tower next door for a full morning in the Triangle. Pre-booking online is recommended on busy port days. Allow 45–60 minutes for the VR experience alone.
