Empires of the Mediterranean

The Viking Star marked the beginning of Viking’s ocean cruise era when it launched in 2015, introducing a new standard in refined, small-ship travel. Designed for 930 guests, the ship blends minimalist Scandinavian style with immersive cultural programming, creating a sophisticated atmosphere tailored for curious, well-traveled guests.

The ship’s clean design emphasizes natural light and open spaces, cultivating a sense of calm and connection to the sea.

Guests can enjoy a variety of thoughtfully designed amenities, including a Nordic spa, infinity pool, and multiple dining venues that celebrate regional flavors. With itineraries throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, and North America, Viking Star provides enriching journeys that prioritize longer port stays, expert-led excursions, and an elegant, adult-focused onboard experience.
