  Viking Star new in 2015 
The Viking Star with only 930 guests, is the first all Verandah Stateroom and Suites ocean cruiser and all-inclusive cruise and cruise tour package, plus highly discounted airfares. This is the ultimate grand dame of the small to mid-sized ocean cruise ships available today, and this ship will put you in awe for ‘all those Included items’ that are options with all the rest!  View the Viking Oceans Videos


The Atrium is gorgeous, light and airy with a fantastic relaxed and leisurely but elegant setting for this marvelous new ship.  The Atrium from the Grand Piano to stairway lends to a special place to gather or to find a nook away from everyone else to relax, and still enjoy everything around you, yet be able to enjoy the pianist and to rejuvenate and set back have a drink or chat with friends or new friends that you'll meet aboard the Viking Star.  The Atrium is the centre hub to see and discover what new is planned for today, tonight and tomorrow.  And a place to totally be alone [as possible] and enjoy some quiet time and just read is in the 'Library'.  And there will be some surprised happenings taking place here, but that is a 'surprise' and for you to find out.


The Main Dining Area is relaxed and casual setting, but dining does not stop here.  There are several fantastic restaurants to enjoy on the Viking Star, from the main dining room shown here at the left to some very unique areas for dining aboard this exquisite new ship.  One thing you will notice in all common areas of the ship, and all the dining areas are windows and views everywhere, you can't miss anything with sliding glass doors and windows and glass everywhere.  No gloomy space here! And Dining is Your Choice!  And as you read on, you can have your own small groups private dining area.

For starters there's the Chef's Table that will offer some unique tasting menus along with wine pairings, this area can also be reserved and used exclusively for small groups. 

Another totally unique dining experience can be enjoyed at the Italian Grill, here you'll find exceptional antipasti, chef designed pastas creatively with steak or other favorites that lend to a grand 'Mama Mia' experience!  All fresh and authentic in the true Italian flavors!  This area too can be used exclusively and reserved for small groups up to 12 persons.

Your next stop might be the World Cafe will be an experience in itself, as this menu changes and could be just about anything really top of your list for yummy and unusual fare to tempt ant tantalize your taste buds!
And this area too, can be used exclusively and reserved for small groups up to 12 persons.

For more casual dining experiences you might like to enjoy the Wintergarden or the Aquavit Terrace. And for you Viking river cruisers, the Aquavit Terrace is at the stern of the Viking Star, and not where it's located on the Longships in the bow area.

Wintergarden Lanai
When you yearn for serenity, there is no better place on ship than a visit to the Wintergarden. This charming, airy space around the main pool is perfect for relaxing in clean, uncluttered Scandinavian-designed environment. Even here, our focus is on enrichment, as this is the place to witness a tea ceremony, or indulge in an afternoon tea service, complete with hand-selected teas, finger sandwiches and pastries.

Another place to gather for a bit of more quiet time, and definitely not to be missed and a wonderful surprise to find included on the Viking Star,  and not to missed is the charming Tea Room and again you will find just about every type food to suit your hearts desire scattered around the ship to feast upon and most definitely enjoy!  Then stop in the Tea Room for the calm and an inspiring exotic tea and something to go with that.

Dining will be an extremely enjoyable experience in any of the fabulous new 'dining areas' and just about every type food imaginable along with some of the more casual area eateries, and of course this is a Scandinavian ship so there must be some Scandinavian specialties, and those you will find in the Viking Deli

Explorers' Lounge
The notion of civilized camaraderie in elegant surroundings is what inspired us to create the Explorers’ Lounge, where fellow travelers can share their latest adventures. It is the perfect setting to celebrate firsts, whether glimpsing your first fjord or savoring Aquavit. With two-story panoramic windows for maximum views plus a selection of craft beers and the Viking Deli, this is the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery


The Verandah * stateroom [all rooms are Verandah rooms] on the Viking Star, with the exception of the  Suites of all types that we do not have artist's images for just yet.  The Veranda is 270 SF, a space that you will completely and totally enjoy.  The Deluxe Veranda is also 270 SF with additional amenities with your own coffee brewer to partake of on your verandah, with many amenities but most notabley your own iPad and a King sized bed.  Here is where you will see those INCLUDED items like a mini-bar replenished daily with snacks and soft drinks, free wi-fi and guaranteed reservations in the specialty restaurants like the Chefs Cafe or Itlaian Grill and priority reservations in the Restaurant.

Certainly not least is the Owner’s Suite at 1,448 SF
When Viking Star debuts in 2015 the lavish Owner’s Suite will, quite simply, be the best stateroom aboard. This immensely spacious suite will be available for booking in 2014, after Viking’s Chairman, Torstein Hagen, has completed personally designing it.

And for you Spa enthusiasts this is the ultimate spa that you will enjoy to your hearts desire. The Sauna Fire and Ice room is truly unique.  And especially if you enjoy it Scandinavian style [with clothes on please] and hit the Sauna, then head over to the 'Snow Room' and enjoy this fantastic room while it snows on you and you cool off!  Then head back to the Sauna until you're ready to hit the snow room again.  And yes it is free to use and you only pay for spa services.  Again viewing the image at the left
