Life aboard a Viking longship was harsh. Crowded decks, freezing seas, and months at sea created conditions where illness could spread rapidly—but Vikings had ingenious ways to stay healthy. This documentary explores the little-known methods they used to manage human and animal waste, keep drinking water safe, and maintain hygiene in confined, dangerous environments. From the design of the longship and designated waste zones to the careful routines of sailors, personal grooming practices, and ingenious use of natural resources like seawater, snow, and cold temperatures, Vikings developed a system of sanitation that ensured crew survival on long voyages. Learn how discipline, communal responsibility, and practical tools combined to create a self-sustaining, disease-resistant environment on the open sea. Discover the remarkable balance of observation, innovation, and cultural knowledge that allowed the Vikings to endure months at sea without succumbing to illness—a testament to their skill, adaptability, and understanding of life at sea in one of the most extreme maritime environments in history.
