Viking ship set to feature in Christopher Nolan’s new film The Odyssey with Matt Damon docked at Muirtown Basin Marina in Inverness
A Viking ship set to be used in a new blockbuster being filmed in locations on the Moray Firth made an Inverness pit stop today.
The Draken Harald Hårfagre, a wooden ship set to be used in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of ancient Greek epic The Odyssey — which will see the likes of Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Zendaya starring in it — was seen docked at the Muirtown Basin Marina in the Highland capital today.
It comes as Moray Firth beauty spots such as Findlater Castle near Cullen and the Culbin Forest near Forres were reported to have been chosen as filming locations.
The ship, which was spotted at Buckie Harbour on Monday and near the Kessock Bridge yesterday, is the the world’s largest Viking boat.
Filming for The Odyssey began in February in Morocco and has also been taking place in Greece and Sicily, and the movie is expected to be released in July 2026.
