Mimir - Norse God of Wisdom

Mimir gained wisdom and knowledge by drinking from the Well of Wisdom. When the Vanir and Aesir gods are at war, the Vanir tribe calls on him for counsel. But, unable to translate his words, they behead him. Odin, the Aesir chief, embalms the head with herbs, casting a spell that allows it to speak. Thus, Mimir guides Odin through the war until the two tribes unify as one.

Physical Distancing & Face Masks - Public health experts agree that proper physical distancing and the use of face masks are effective in helping slow the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses. Face masks are optional while moving about the ship. Please note: Viking’s Medical Team continually monitors conditions and may deem face masks to be necessary while moving about the ship, based on conditions at the time of travel. While ashore, guests will need to comply with any local guidelines for face masks and physical distancing. Face masks continue to be required for all crew.
