The legend of the Vikings is brought to life in a dramatic and gripping programme set in the tenth century and based around the island of Karmoy off the western coast of Norway.

Vikings tell the story of a guest - a merchant who was brought goods from afar. The parts of Thorir, Karl and Ragnilde are recreated by members of the Karmoy Viking Club.

Authentic recreations filmed in Norway and on the Isle of Man, plus footage of Viking ships under sail in the Irish Sea. With 3D graphics of ship design and the Viking fire festival in York, Warriors from the Sea show the reality behind myths of the Norse warriors, whose ferocity and power terrified the civilised world for centuries.
