The Viking ship 'Sea Stallion from Glendalough' is currently moored in Peel Harbour.
The vessel left Denmark at the start of July and is due to reach its final destination Dublin, early next week.
The boat is the largest viking ship ever reconstructed and features some original components found on the wreck dating back to 1042.
Due to a chance meeting with local politicians Graham Cregeen and Bill Malarkey the 61 strong crew were treated to a round Island coach tour.
One of the crew Tria Nicholl is relieved that the end is now in sight:
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
Public urged to consult on capacity
RNLI volunteers call for 'honest reflection' over 'decade of decline'
Island food producers have 'Great Taste'
