The spa on board the Viking ship is nothing short of invigorating – wellness, the Nordic way.

• The spa facilities include a mineral rich hydrotherapy pool, steam room, dry sauna, heated tile lounges and a spa.
• Viking’s exclusive Snow Grotto is something else – a real snow environment where you rub snow over your skin to drive down your body temperature.
• The idea is to go from hot to cold – the steam room increases your circulation while the Snow Grotto decreases it. Your body detoxifies, it is good for your pores, and eases joint pains.
• The heated chairs are designed to heat up as you lie on them, easing lower back pain.
• The spa is beautifully appointed, with natural materials such as Scandinavian timbers throughout.
• For an additional fee, the spa offers more body care services, such as a Swedish massage, facials, manicures, pedicures and hair salon treatments.
• This is a great place to end your day after walking the streets of the cities you visit.
