I will share with you many photos I took on the Viking Star.
I will share my impressions, my observations, and my thoughts about this ship vs other ships.
I will tell you what we liked about this ship and what we did not.
This review is for those interested in Viking Ocean Cruises, and also for those who are dreaming of a cruise on a luxury ship.
Why Viking Ocean cruise ship?
I did my pre-cruise homework and found that this was an outstanding ship that broke the old shell of so-called “luxury cruising” in its “brochure meaning”.
The Viking Star is probably the first ship in “luxury or near luxury”category that is designed as a real cruise ship.
The cruise line has adopted a principal layout and list of amenities that we can see on the most comfortable mid-size cruise ships (think of advanced Vista-Class derivatives that are about 90,000 GT - Queen Elizabeth or Nieuw Amsterdam).

Will Viking Cruises be able to bring an array of the first class amenities to a smaller scale ship without significant losses?
Will the copy be better than the originals?
How will it work for us?
Let’s see….
