Additional information: Louisa can currently be heard on TV on the commercials for Viking River Cruises and was recently on national radio as the fast-talking voice in a comic VW ad.

The advert was filmed in locations across the world, from Norway to Japan, Australia, Turkey, Hungary and Germany.

The ships were made watertight by filling the spaces between the planks with wool, moss or animal hair, mixed with tar or tallow. The ships were all the same long narrow shape, with shallow draughts. This meant that they could be used in shallow water. Vikings used longships to make raids and carry their warriors.

Viking's state-of-the-art ships are designed to take you right into the heart of each destination, and with fewer sailing days and more time spent in port, a Viking cruise allows you to immerse yourself in the locations that you love for longer.

The Viking Ship Museum on the Bygdøy peninsula just outside Oslo's city centre has long been the most popular Viking museum to visit. Here, the three preserved Viking ships found in Norway – Oseberg, Tune and Gokstad – are exhibited.

The Viking Sea Singers and Dancers are the ship's primary entertainers, and they'll put on several productions in the theater during the cruise. While the performers are talented, some of the shows themselves are cheesy.
