Bonnie Carroll's Life Bites

My first awareness of LiV Viking Spa was when attending the launch party in 2015 on the Viking Jupiter in Los Angeles, where I first met Viking Chairman Torstein Hagen and Karina, his lovely and talented daughter, and toured the exquisite ship with a large group of invited media guests.

From first glance, I was in love with the simplicity and strong sensibility of this LiV Nordic Health focused palace of pleasure, where guests could lose themselves in a hot sauna, ice cold snow room, private cold water plunges, or warm therapy pools to loosen up the entire body, utilizing Nordic designed products to help every part of the body look and feel better. I especially liked the designer dressing room with private plunge pool, jacuzzi, and a treatment waiting room created with meditative moments in mind.

Massage and facial treatments I experienced were outstanding, and the purity of their products worked perfectly on my very sensitive skin. They also offer a Nordic spa package for healthy hot/cold techniques and accompanying brush and products to take when you leave to enjoy at home.

During my recent cruise on Viking Jupiter, I was excited to experience the spa for the first time, and thoroughly enjoyed it, despite my not really understanding how to use the LiV system available. On the Star I finally got all he answers and rewards. This spa is a bliss center on Viking ships that guests utilize quickly between tours or spend whole afternoons enjoying on days at sea.

During my recent cruise from Montreal to Miami on the Viking Star I was lucky to enjoy an evening of instruction from NiV professionals on the art of their special Swedish health process, which includes hot/cold therapy routine in the sauna and snow grotto, using their amazing products for exfoliation and restoration. These sessions begin with an explanation of the process and a short meditation to encourage relaxation.

LiV Spa is exclusive to Viking Cruise Lines, and I highly recommend them for their professionalism and care. On your next trip be sure to try a few of their unique treatments, but book early, appointment times fill up so quickly before a cruise. Wishing you a true Hygge spa experience on your blissful visit to the Spa on your next voyage. Visit: www.viking.com.
