Rolf - Symbol of Courage
One of the oldest of all Nordic-Viking names, "Rolf" came from "Hrodwulf," a Dark Ages appellation when mostly pagan names tended to extol virtues. One of the most famous kings of antiquity, Rolf, gained renown in warfare by assembling the most celebrated warriors of the North known as Rolf's Twelve Champions. Equally famous was "Rolf the Ganger," or "Marching Rolf," a Viking chief who sailed the Seine and surrounded Paris.
Aquavit Terrace
Revolutionary in concept and design, this spacious outdoor seating area at the bow of the ship is perfect for having a casual meal al fresco, meeting friends for drinks or reading a book, all while enjoying breathtaking views and basking in the fresh air.
The Bar
