Overview
Viking is bringing their wildly successful river cruise experience to the ocean with the Viking Star.
The ship takes many cues from the river ships, including the intimacy of sailing with fewer passengers.
Viking Star has just 465 staterooms and maintain an exclusive feel. The ship will also feature a few public rooms that bring passengers together to create conversation, like the snow room in the spa and the cantilevered pool at the ship’s aft.
The most important thing Viking made sure to bring to this ship is the sense of destination-based enrichment.
Just as on their river ships, this ship will feature meals from the surrounding regions and have programs and speakers that will delight passengers on the cultures and heritages of their travel destinations.

We had some bad weather that kept us out of a couple of the ports but there was still much to do on the ship and so we didn't mind.
Pros: Smaller ship with large rooms and friendly staff. Everything was well planned and carried out.
Cons: None

A lot of time is spent on buses going to and from excursions. I know this can't be helped but this is a con, compared to the closeness of all shore activities on the River Cruises.
Pros: Layout of the ship, great dining options, coordination of activities, they go out of their way to make your time on board and on land memorable.
