The LivNordic Spa on board every
Viking ocean ship is a nod to our
company's Nordic heritage – from
the décor to the focus on invigorating
hot-cold treatments — and access
is complimentary.
For centuries, hot-cold therapy has
been a key element of the Nordic
bathing culture and is designed to
detox the body and boost circulation.
A traditional Nordic bathing ritual
involves working up a sweat in a
wood-heated sauna while breathing
in the rich scent of pine, then plunging
into an ice-cold pool or taking a
cold bucket shower. is process
is then repeated until the desired
outcome is achieved.
At the LivNordic Spa, you can complete
your Nordic bathing ritual with
a few minutes in the snow grotto,
where snowfl akes will gently descend
from the ceiling through chilled air,
before reclining in one of the heated
chaise lounge chairs.
e benefi ts of hot-cold therapy
include:
• Reduced infl ammation, joint
pain and muscle tension
• Improved blood fl ow
• Detoxifi cation and increased
lymphatic circulation
• Rejuvenated, healthy skin
• Reduced stress levels
