We support cultural events and educational institutions
Contributing to regional development through both cultural events and education is very important to VIKING. Have a look at some of the things we support below.
Musikhuset Esbjerg
Framing more than 100 annual concerts, musicals, exhibitions, theatrical and stand-up shows etc., VIKING is proud to be the main sponsor of Musikhuset Esbjerg.
Tobakken Esbjerg
Known for its raw and authentic atmosphere, Tobakken is one of Esbjerg’s most iconic live venues, hosting a wide range of concerts and cultural events throughout the year. VIKING is proud to be the main sponsor, supporting local music, creativity, and community spirit.
The Harbor School
The Harbor School in Esbjerg has been educating and providing unique experiences at sea for school children for more than 25 years. Feeling the wind and the splashes of seawater from the waves while setting sail or rowing the boats themselves, makes for an unique introduction to the maritime world for many students each year. VIKING is more than happy to support The Harbor School with safety equipment for all the young seafarers and their teachers.
The Fisheries and Maritime Museum
The museum in Denmark is the largest of its kind in the country with exhibitions, aquarium, sealarium and fishing boats.
VIKING supports the Tall Ships Races whenever they come to town. We were main sponsor in 2025 and are looking forward to the next visit in 2029.
Educational institutions and training centers
We are committed to supporting higher education. Employees throughout the organization participate in educational activities and assist students with their theoretical projects. We also employ students in student assistant, trainee and internship positions. A large number of our employees are former student assistants, trainees or interns. We also have a close cooperation with selected maritime safety training schools, which receive special training equipment and materials.
Fulton
Through our support of the Fulton Foundation, we help provide young people – including those in vulnerable situations – with hands-on maritime experience and personal development opportunities. The foundation’s voyages focus on cultural and social youth work, including sail training and school trips aboard the historic schooner Fulton.
Fanø Art Museum
We support the local art museum on the island of Fanø off the coast of Esbjerg.
