Sounds a lot like the Michael Crichton novel and film, The Thirteenth Warrior. Antonio Banderas played the visiting Arab prince who joined up with a bunch of Viking warriors. A good story. Those Vikings were badasses.

The girls were rather, uh, promiscuous in that tale too.

Good book and movie...

The movie was called the 13th warrior, the name of the book was different which escapes me at the moment...

I think it was Eric the Red’s daughter, during a two ship expedition to hell and gone, wanted the women aboard the other ship killed, and when her father wouldn’t do it, she went over during the night and did it herself.

That’s because elements of the Crichton novel and the film were based on ibn Fadlan’s chronicle of his travels.
