Viking Star overview

Viking Star is an award-winning small-sized ship from Viking Cruise Line. The vessel is thoughtfully created by experienced nautical architects and designers to guest's interaction with their destinations in every way. Holding only 930 passengers, a voyage on a Viking Star is intimate with an exceptionally low crew to passenger ratio.

Like all Viking Cruise Line vessels, the all staterooms on the Viking Star feature a veranda in each cabin. From Veranda Stateroom cabin class to the abundance of extra perks and amenities in the spacious Explorer Suites, there’s no finer way to travel. Each room features a King-size Viking Explorer Bed, 110/220 volt outlets & USB ports, direct-dial satellite phone & cell service, premium Freyja® toiletries, purified water refilled daily, and free Wi-Fi.

There are no shortage of dining venues and bars on board the Viking Star. Restaurants include Manfredi's Italian Restaurant, The Chef's Table multi-course dining experience, the main Restaurant, lively music venue and bar Torshavn, World Cafe featuring al fresco dining, Explorer's Lounge serving Scandinavian fare, and Mamsen's offering Norwegian specialities. Viking Star also offers an onboard cooking school program called 'The Kitchen Table'.

Other onboard venues include The Viking Living Room, The Spa & Salon, a Fitness Center, Shops, a theatre, an aft infinity pool, heated main pool and hot tub, and s Sports Deck.

Nice cruise on a somewhat tired ship by scottnmibrown

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Star

An itinerary just going to Montenegro, Croatia, and Slovenia maybe along with Bari or one of the other Eastern Italian cities would be preferable. Maybe a day in Venice, but I know that is not really feasible

Great First Transatlantic Cruise by cayowest

Ship: Viking Star

A total of 11 days at sea. An excellent veranda for relaxing and sunning. Relaxing trip.

So good, we already rebooked the cruise for 2025 by JDSams

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Star

Don't let the 6 days at sea crossing the Atlantic deter you. Time basically stood still. The included wines at lunch and dinner were as good, or better, than anything you would buy for yourself. Befriend a few bar and wait staff, and you'll have more than you can handle (and be sure to tip them extra at the end)

* Have a Norwegian chef on a Norwegian ship. I talked with head chef and he hadn't heard of several dishes - that are every day Norwegian fare. * Train your entire staff, not just a hand full The old saying, you get what you pay for, certainly doesn't apply to Viking

Don't take too many clothes and go casual. The onboard free laundry provides everything. Also, the drinks that you pay for are very reasonable compared to other ships we've been on.
