VIKING liferafts are found all
over the globe

– from the arctic to the tropics

Throw overboard liferafts are designed to be used as independent units or as part of evacuation systems. They can be stored almost anywhere on racks and ramps, saving valuable deck space and causing minimal disruption to sea views which is important for passenger ships.

Liferafts are packed in sturdy containers with a special VIKING sealing method that makes them especially durable, resistant to water ingress and makes them faster and easier to service.

Standard rafts are available in sizes:
6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25 and persons.

Self-righting rafts are available in sizes:
25, 51, 101 and 151 persons.
