There is no difference, other than the intent of the person being described.
A viking was a trader who would sometimes raid small villages or other boats. They took advantage of a situation if it presented itself. Vikings were never full time vikings, they were either warriors during peacetime, or other karls (freemen) who would be lead by a Jarl (someone of noble birth, usually the second son of a king or chieftain). A trader would of course be a full time trader, someone who made a living off trade. Vikings made their living by other means. Most vikings were actually farmers, including the peace-time warriors.
