Why A Vertical Cold Plunge?
Full Body Immersion
Stand tall and let the cold reach every part of your body evenly. This position ensures balanced circulation and a more complete physiological response.
Stay in Control
Step in gradually from the feet up, letting your body adjust at its own pace. Vertical immersion minimizes cold shock and makes every plunge safer, smoother, and more effective.
Easier, Deeper Breathing
Upright posture supports natural diaphragm movement, making it easier to stay calm and centered. Control your breath, control the experience.

Mental Focus and Energy
The Nordic Wave Viking has simply made my life better. I was first introduced to the Viking when I was a rookie golfer competing in tournaments. I was using the Viking daily between tournaments and quickly realized that I do not want to go another day without cold water immersion. Now, when I am home, it has become a part of my morning routine. I wake up and get directly into the Viking! I feel like a lion when that timer ends and I get out. I am simply ready for what the day has to throw at me.
Post-Surgery Recovery
The Viking is awesome because it doesn't take up a lot of space and you can keep it whatever temperature you want. Everything comes down to circulation. Getting into something that's cold helps your body reset. Anything that's going to help me recover faster, get better circulation, stay healthier — Heck, I'm 41 I need all the help I can get.
mental clarity for motherhood
I used to cold plunge all of the time before having kids, do that's why I invested in a cold plunge for at home. 37 degrees! The benefits are incredible. It's all about focusing on your breath, slowing down and pushing through. But the real gamechanger is the mental clarity and energy boost I get afterward. Exactly what I need to power through my day with my two little ones.
Post-workout Recovery
I said I wanted to push boundaries and take my health and wellness to a new level this year. The Viking Cold Plunge has helped me do just that. I'm truly enjoying the challenge and all the benefits! Join the wave.

- HPHelen P.Verified BuyerReviewingViking Cold Plunge Charcoal Gray / PROI recommend this productHow many times a week do you cold plunge? EverydayRated 5 out of 5 stars1 hour agoCold Plunge indoor
Love my cold plunge! Researched for a while and this is the only and best vertical cold plunge available. “Step case” is super sturdy, stone mat is great- nonslip and dry quickly. I love my sauna then cold plunge routines. I set it indoor so I can use it year-round. Tub filler and drain valve is set up for easy access. Compressor is super, temperature is reached very quickly. Products are better than picture, quality is good and sturdy. our original design was to box the cold plunge and build bench to cover compressor. But after receiving the products we decided it is not necessary to cover them. the video and materials were helpful to plan the space and set ups. very pleased with it.
- RLRobert L.Verified BuyerReviewingViking Cold Plunge Charcoal Gray / PROI recommend this productHow many times a week do you cold plunge? EverydayRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoSolid Plunge Kit
I’ve been using my plunge everyday for about a month. I got the standard chiller and it typically keeps the water within 1F of the setpoint. The water also stays loaded with tiny bubbles and is very clean. Probably the only thing I would change about the whole setup would be the addition of a seal on the tub lid. I live in the woods and the tub seems to attract insects which can crawl right beneath the lid handles and either fall into the water or perch against the tub wall (surprise). Honestly, it’s not a big enough gripe to give it four stars. The chiller works well, the plunge is stable and the purchasing/shipping process was quick and painless. I also used my HSA which was super easy. I’d say, for the price point, you’re not likely to find a better setup in this market.

Team Nordic - JDJon D.Verified ReviewerReviewingViking Cold PlungeI recommend this productHow many times a week do you cold plunge? Two or three times a weekRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoBetter sleep, less inflammation
The Nordicwave has been just as advertised! Easy to use and delivers all the benefits I hoped for. Very active pickleball player, 4-5 days a week for 2-3 hours and knees use to feel it. So much better after doing my 4 minute plunge at 48 after each session. Additional benefit is it also helps me to sleep better through the night.
This 50+ guy highly recommends!
NWNordic Wave1 month agoWhat an amazing review! "Better sleep, less inflammation" that in itself is so great to hear. We are so happy that the Viking is helping on the court and off the court!
Stay cool,
