About
Travel along the North Sea in this boat ride that takes you to the history of Norway's mythology, including encounters with Vikings and trolls. The boat enters a mild storm and then docks in a nearby fishing village. This boat ride is very mild with only one small drop. This ride most notably sends the boat riding backwards at one point. After getting off the boat, visitors enter a theater to watch a short movie about Norway.
Tips and Trivia
- Use FastPass on this ride in case of long lines.
- While we are fans of the boat ride, the movie afterwards is definitely not our favorite attraction at Epcot. If you want to avoid watching the movie, enter the theater quickly, walk straight through the row and exit with the group that went before you.
