The Vikings are back on the River Boyne after a 1000 year absence. The marauders have returned alright but this time in the more benign form of a film set for the latest episode of the hit TV show Vikings.

Alistair Rumball and his Irish National Sailing Club Marine Services team provide marine suppport for the water based scenes for the exciting series and they have recently pitched up outside Drogheda.

Vikings Season 4 is coming to the HISTORY channel on February 18th. The Official trailer is below.
