Viking Star: the art of ocean travel reinvented

Nordic harmony and timeless elegance aboard the Viking Star

Launched in 2015, the Viking Star was the first ocean ship of Viking Ocean Cruises, marking a new era for travelers seeking refined voyages. Designed to accommodate 930 guests, this 47,800-ton vessel reflects the philosophy of Scandinavian design: clean lines, light woods, and abundant natural light. Aboard the Viking Star, the sea becomes a space of serenity and culture, where every moment is infused with softness, beauty, and emotion.
