Viking Star
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.

Ship Reviews
Viking Star receives high praise for its beautiful ship, attentive service, and well-organized itineraries. Many guests felt pampered and appreciated the luxury accommodations and amenities. However, there are recurring criticisms regarding missed ports, underwhelming food in some venues, and inconsistent entertainment. Excursions and port experiences were a mixed bag, with some guests finding them magical and others disappointed by last-minute changes or lackluster destinations. Overall, the cruise is seen as a premium experience, but some guests felt it did not always deliver value for the price paid.
Service is frequently described as attentive, friendly, and making guests feel special. Some guests noted inconsistencies, particularly in the dining rooms, but overall staff are praised for their helpfulness.
