The Viking Cruises Scandinavian Garden

Water garden
Inspired by the wild, natural beauty of the company’s heritage, The Viking Cruises Scandinavian Garden beckons you across the water. A rowing boat rests on a pebble beach where large boulders have been placed, as if left by a retreating glacier. A gravel path leads to the door of a humble house, which nestles into an earth mound covered by meadow grass sparsely colonised with wildflowers. Nature is ever present in the form of sedges, ferns and grasses, while native trees and shrubs provide the backdrop. The garden evokes a traditional Scandinavian way of life where comfort and beauty is drawn from the simplest things.
