Overview

Viking Lif is built to maximize the space onboard and includes several new innovative features, like solar panels on the ship’s sun deck.

She also takes a cue from the sturdy longships and mythology of the Norse gods. According to Norse mythology, Lif, which stands for life, was a human tasked with helping to populate the world. You are sure to have a fabulous life while aboard the Viking Lif.
