Vikings centers around the life of Ragnar Lothbrok, a Vikings warrior and farmer. Ragnar’s ambition to explore and raid the distant shores to the west, conflicts with the local chieftain, who orders his raiders to the impoverished east. Ragnar and his friend Floki, a boat builder, design a new style of ship capable of taming the rough northern seas – and setting the stage for conflict. Warfare, brotherhood and family loyalties set this civilization on a path that will change their lives forever.
