Trivia
- This ship was made for the Christmas Event 2017.
- The name Viking may be attributed to the offense-oriented design of the ship.
- Vikings were warriors from Scandinavia that are best known for arriving in slim boats with carved figureheads and wreaking havoc across Europe.
- For a limited period of time after the Christmas Event 2017, the ship was able to be built for nearly half of its original value (the reason for this remains unknown).
