A Viking longboat typically could accommodate about 20 to 60 people, depending on its size and design. The crew generally consisted of around 20 to 30 oarsmen, while the remainder of the capacity could be used for passengers, cargo, or warriors. Larger longships, like those used for raids or exploration, could carry more, sometimes exceeding 100 individuals.
