The viking Longship was unique in its design that it was able to actually bend. It was very flexible, and so storms poised much less a problem than to other ships. Another great feature of the longships was that they had flat bottoms, and so the risk of crashing against rocks was greatly reduced. So the Norse were able to ride out most storms.

Who were the vikings sailing for?
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.)
