Raids, battles and longships might be the first things to pop into our minds when we think about Vikings.
But a new immersive experience moves beyond all that, to tell the story of the Viking world's most formidable family.
It centres on King Ragnar Lodbrok, the wise Queen Kraka (Aslaug), and their world-conquering sons, Ivar the Boneless, Bjorn Ironside, Hvitserk and Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, as they assemble the Great Heathen Army and change the course of European history.
Through a fully immersive physical and cinematic journey that blends history, myth, real forest settings and cutting-edge technology, guests will travel through a series of sets. The story will focus mostly around Queen Kraka (Aslaug), powerful matriarch of a Viking dynasty.
The experience features the beautiful and mythological Tree of Light, representing the centre of Norse mythology and connecting the heavens, the middle world and the underworld. This virtual reality adventure includes Junior VR for children.
At the centre of the action is a 360-degree video-mapped cinematic presentation, complete with a real-life Viking longship, and you can expect Viking replicas, interactive displays, audio guides, a knot-tying station and hands-on educational elements.
Vikings: The Immersive Experience will arrive at Dock X, Canada Water, London, on 12 March, and promises to inspire curiosity and imagination.
