Generally speaking, Constantinople was not a likely place for Vikings to travel to. If any peoples from Northern Europe wished to travel there, it would require a voyage south to the Straits of Gibraltar and sail eastward in the Mediterranean Sea. After reaching the Aegean Sea, it would require a land trip to reach Constantinople.

What stuff did the vikings trade?
In many parts of Europe, especially Eastern Europe, the Vikings were known primarily as traders rather than as raiders. These places included much of Eastern Europe and Russia, where they were regarded with respect and valued as merchants. They traded in other parts of Europe as well, but were vilified, especially in Western Europe, for raiding and piracy, partly because they were pagans. They traded as far as the shores of the Caspian Sea, Constantinople, Sicily, and Spain, mostly along the coasts and up the rivers.
How did the Vikings trade in the Medieval Ages?
The Vikings used their long boats as cargo vessels. Since these boats were seaworthy and had a shallow enough draft to go far up rivers, the Vikings could trade, or raid, all along the coasts and navigable rivers of Europe. The Vikings are remembered primarily as raiders in France and England, but primarily as traders in parts of Eastern Europe. Their routes went as far as Constantinople, where numbers of them were hired as personal bodyguards for emperors.
Did vikings have the black death?
Yes, in a way. The Vikings settled down in areas all over Europe from Greenland to Sicily to Russia and Constantinople. In the end Vikings became Christinized and Feudal matching the institutions of mainland Europe. By 1347 the Vikings were changed into new paradigms and adopted local customs and married into local populations. So when the Plague hit their terretories in 1347-1353, they too were affected by the great death that claimed anywhere from 1/5 to 1/3 of Europe (Historians debate the #).
