It's no coincidence the Viking Star became an award-winning ocean liner in its inaugural season. As the star of the Viking Ocean Cruises fleet, she garnered 5-star ratings and accolades for being the best new cruise ship from everyone from Cruise Critic to CNN. Ready to discover the amenities that earned Viking Star the limelight?

Minimalist-chic Scandinavian décor and impeccable service set the stage for unforgettable experiences throughout the Viking Star. Delight in delectable specialty dishes from your ports of call and beyond, with spectacular vistas from The Restaurant or al fresco at Aquavit Terrace, just to name a few venues. Pamper yourself with trips to the sauna, Snow Grotto and spa, then it's time for rejuvenating tea and conversation at Wintergarden. Naturally, there are fantastic pools, including the indoor/outdoor, movie-playing, and infinity variety.

That's just a taste of the entertainment at sea though. An assortment of live shows, educational lectures, musical revues, and much more will wow you in the Viking Star's main theater. In fact, there's a whole curriculum of classes to highlight the history, customs, and art you can expect in each destination. Last, but not least, when you've had your fill of fun each day, stargaze from your sophisticated stateroom verandah before dozing off to dream about what adventures await you tomorrow.
