Ville Viking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ville Viking is a white ship's cat in a sailor's outfit.

Ville Viking is the mascot of the ship company Viking Line, which is used as an icon for activities for children passengers, marketing and merchandising. The white ship's cat figure appears on ships and Viking Line's marketing events at least in Finland and Sweden.[1] The feline figure can be hugged and can appear in pictures with people.[2][3]

The name of the Viking Line children's club is Ville Viking Club. Children under 12 years of age can join the club free of charge, and members receive a mail letter twice per year. The club has its own cruises from Turku once per week and from Helsinki once per month except for the summer holiday season.[4]

Alcohol-free Ville Viking drinks can be bought on Viking Line's ships. Children's menus and buffet tables on the ships are also named for the character.

In 2007 a CD of children's songs was published under the Ville Viking name.[5]
