Vikings: The Immersive Experience is landing at Dock X this March

This March, London welcomes a powerful new cultural attraction -Vikings: The Immersive Experience landing at Dock X. Far more than a battle-led retelling, this ambitious exhibition offers an emotional and educational journey into the heart of Viking society, centred on one of its most influential dynasties. Visitors are invited to step inside the world of King Ragnar Lodbrok, Queen Kraka (Aslaug) and their legendary sons, including Ivar the Boneless and Bjorn Ironside.

Blending large-scale physical sets with cutting-edge technology, the experience unfolds across richly detailed environments designed to fully immerse guests in the Viking age. Highlights include a dramatic forest-style discovery space and a towering mythological Yggdrasil, also known as the World Tree, brought to life through light, sound and projection. High-resolution video mapping, virtual reality and a sweeping cinematic score combine to transport visitors back to 9th-century Scandinavia and the lands the Vikings once explored and conquered.

A defining feature of the exhibition is its focus on Queen Kraka, whose wisdom, foresight and spiritual power are often overshadowed in popular history. Through storytelling and immersive visuals, visitors follow her journey from hidden royal lineage to revered völva, revealing the pivotal role she played in shaping one of the most feared families of the North.

The experience culminates in a striking 360-degree cinematic presentation set around a real Viking longship, guiding audiences through a tale of love, fate, vengeance and legacy. Accessible, multi-sensory and thoughtfully designed, Vikings: The Immersive Experience will appeal to history lovers, families, school groups and fans of Vikings alike.

Tickets start from £19 for children and £23 for adults, with concessions and VIP options available. Public opening on 13^th March 2026.

Address: Dock X, Unit 1 Canada Water, Surrey Quays Rd, London, SE16 2XU

You can expect Grilled Eel on crispy rice cake with unagi sauce; Roast Pork Collar glazed with char siu sauce, paired with steamed bok choi; Wagyu Beef & Black Bean Dumpling, with a hint of chili; and wuxiang sauce Enoki & Cauliflower Dumpling.

If you fancy a sweet treat, you can also try one of their fluffy Black sesame bun. Finally, you can enhance your experience by ordering the Snake Yuzu Vodka Sherbet, a cocktail curated specially for the occasion, with Tarsier Yuzu marmalade vodka mixed with house sake, and citrus syrup.

All of this is available alongside the usual Ping Pong menu. The exclusive dishes are available from 14th January until 10th February, in all Ping Pong locations: Soho, Southbank, Bow Bells House and James Street.

Set menus are available for groups of 8 people and more, with vegan, gluten free and halal options.
