The Viking Friluftsliv Garden
By garden designer Will Williams. In-keeping with the cruise line’s Nordic roots, ‘The Viking Friluftsliv Garden’ is inspired by the Scandinavian lifestyle and incorporates the clean, elegant design principles that Viking is known for.
Friluftsliv, pronounced free-loofts-liv, translates to ‘open-air living’ and is an amalgamation of the Norwegian words for free, air and life. The expression is often used to describe the sense of wellbeing and the spiritual and physical benefits of spending time outdoors.
‘The Viking Friluftsliv Garden’ will feature an outdoor kitchen, exterior fire place and plunge pool. The design also incorporates a range of plants of different sizes and textures and a pine border – a first for the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
After being awarded the RHS Young Designer of the Year in 2018, Will Williams became the youngest designer ever to create a garden within the Show Garden category at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in 2019. Having graduated from the London College of Garden Design, Will has built a successful garden design practice, winning contracts for commercial and residential projects across the UK and overseas.
