They must voyage north to the Vikings' home territory and rescue Justforkix before the Vikings find out he is not who they think he is and make him pay the price. Meanwhile, the fact that the Vikings' chief's daughter, Abba, has fallen for Justforkix only makes matters more complicated...

Asterix and The Vikings is a thrilling adventure full of humour and unexpected twists, showcasing the courage and cleverness of our favourite Gaulish heroes.
