The Vikings' sailing routes primarily spanned across the North Atlantic, connecting Scandinavia with various parts of Europe, including the British Isles, France, and even the Mediterranean. They navigated rivers in Eastern Europe, reaching as far as the Byzantine Empire and the Caspian Sea. Their advanced shipbuilding techniques enabled them to explore and raid coastal areas, establish trade routes, and settle in places like Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland.

I am not a 'world expert', but from what I have been reading, the Vikings were generally all equal, like a "team", so they were usually sailing for each other and for their local villages and families. They weren't usually sailing for a King or a country. (There were 'Jarls', or "Earls" among them, but they were not always sailing 'for' them.) Some Vikings were hired mercenaries, especially down around what is now Turkey. ( Most of my reading has been about Viking raids, not Viking merchant trading.)
The route a vessel navigates
Vikings originated in the three Scandinavian countries:Denmark (sailing mainly to England, France)Norway (sailing to mainly Ireland and Scotland)Sweden (sailing to mainly Russia and all the way to Constantinople)However it is important to understamd that there were a lot of Swedish vikings who also sailed to England and France for instance, aswell as there were vikings from for instance Norway who sailed to Russia and Constantinople-The Vikings were from Denmark, Norway and Sweden and settled in parts of Finland, France, Iceland, Greenland and England.The Vikings were originally referred to as Norsemen which are from Denmark, Norway and SwedenScandinavia
The Vikings produced beautiful carvings and metalwork. They also built their own sailing crafts called Longboats or Longships.
The Northwest Passage. It IS there, it's just not a "direct" route -it is "circuitous".

Vikings' sailing skills created fear among Europeans, which contributed to the rise of feudal society. Hope this helps
By sailing them to distant points like the Americas, Mediteranian and deep into Russia.
