On 13 July 2002 JORVIK welcomed its 13 millionth visitor. Dame Judi Dench, together with an escort of 13 Viking Warriors, the Lord Mayor of York and the Chairman of York Archaeological Trust formed the reception committee for the 13 millionth visitor. To mark the occasion, the lucky visitor won a 2 night cruise break to Bergen, generously donated by Fjord Line. Additionally, as part of the celebrations and to recognise her status as York's Person of the Millennium, Dame Judi was presented with the Freedom of JORVIK. We would like to thank everyone who has visited, supported and worked with JORVIK since its creation in 1984. This support has enabled York Archaeological Trust to continue the valuable work of uncovering our history, and bringing the past to life!
