The Norway Pavilion in  Epcot’s World Showcase welcomes you into another world, the historical world of Vikings.

The ride located within Norway is called Maelstrom.  This is a boat water ride through the land of polar bears, trolls and Vikings.  At the end of your voyage, you’re invited to watch a short historical film on the beauty and heritage of Norway.   Read more
