To sail a square-sailed ship is a very different experience from sailing a modern boat. So to become shipmaster on a Viking ship certified to take passengers on board is a rather demanding process. Broad, maritime experience is a requirement, as is a coastal masters certificate and comprehensive training on board a Viking ship under the watchful eyes of a certified Viking shipmaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three new shipmaster fulfil all these requirements. Adam Bailey and H\u00e5vard Mogan Enerud both have a background as maritime navigators, while Rolf Krohg S\u00f8rensen has a lifetime\u00b4s experience with sailing boats. All three have in addition received comprehensive training on board our Viking ships.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final approvals of the three were made by the Shipmasters\u00b4 Board. They will receive their honours during a crew-gathering event on November 12th<\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0Congratulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\"en_GB\"\/<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
