Gaia is a full-scale replica Viking ship associated with Sandefjord's maritime identity and the region's famous ship burials. The replica helps make the Viking-age story more tangible than a mound alone: planks, rigging, and hull shape turn archaeological knowledge into a vessel you can picture at sea.
Availability can vary, so it is worth checking locally before planning a visit around the ship. Even when seen briefly, Gaia pairs naturally with Gokstad-related sights and the town's broader seafaring museums, connecting Sandefjord's Viking past to its later maritime history.
