Viking Star received huge accolades during its debut season. Escape to the Aquavit Terrace where you’ll catch an ever-changing glimpse of scenery outdoors, or enjoy a beverage in the Explorers’ Lounge with panoramic views surrounding you. For a peaceful escape, visit The Spa, a Nordic wellness retreat available onboard. Pools and spas onboard Viking Star are one of a kind – swim in a glass-backed Infinity Pool which is cantilevered off the stern, or visit the Main Pool which features a retractable roof so you can take a swim no matter what the conditions. And, you’ll always have your own private veranda to relax onboard this ship which features all veranda cabins. This cruise ship is truly state-of-the-art in its entertainment, culinary experiences, enrichment programs, and more.
Viking Star receives high praise for its beautiful ship, attentive service, and overall luxury experience. Many guests highlight the exceptional cleanliness, friendly staff, and well-organized itineraries.
