20 Our river cruises are designed so you experience destinations up close and in depth. FROM R IVERS TO Now, we reinvented the nature of the ocean cruise: custom-crafting itineraries for more time in port, so you can really explore—whether experiencing excursions that bring history and culture to life or discovering off-the-beaten-path adventures that enrich your journey. OCEANS

On Viking Star, expand your horizons with like-minded explorers on a ship that is genuinely human in scale. She is designed with a comfortable intimacy to encourage lifelong friendships and an ease of discovery that larger ships simply cannot offer. So by journey’s end, you feel more connected—to your fellow travelers and your destinations.

But of course, value for your money is also of great importance. As a company, we believe that a cruise should offer more than just transportation; that, like our river cruises, your fare should include all you need—from shore excursions to beverages, meals and wi-fi— not unpleasant surprises. That your ship should be built to enhance your destination, not to be the destination. And should you choose to explore more, you still have options to customize your experience, from our onboard Viking Concierge to optional excursions and privileged access behind the scenes. This is our vision; this is Viking cruising.

Reinventing Cruising

Join us as we usher in a new era of ocean cruising by taking the innovative thinking behind our award-winning river cruises and bringing it to the epic setting of the sea. This cruise experience is the one our river passengers inspired us to create. We have asked our guests, listened, observed—and now crafted the ultimate kind of cruise: one focused on destinations. And in 2015, we will take destination cruising from the rivers to the ocean with the maiden

season of the beautiful Viking Star. ARTIST’S RENDERING, VIKING STAR

ARTIST’S RENDERING, THE RESTAURANT

When you understand local food traditions, you gain insight into local culture. At Viking, we believe cuisine is as much a part of travel as seeing the sights; that’s why we feature a sampling of regional specialties. On Viking Star, our restaurants are the perfect setting for your culinary discoveries, offering you choices from American classics and heart-healthy options to authentic regional delights to deepen your connection to your destinations. And since the ultimate “room” is the great outdoors, Viking Star offers more al fresco dining experiences than any ship at sea. Sample a Venetian risotto while you cruise through Venice; delight in a Turkish meze surrounded by the Bosphorus Sea, or enjoy gravlax as you glide through breathtaking fjords. Because part of your experience is dining in your destination —even when you’re on board.

When we set out to reinvent the ocean cruise, it meant reimagining the ship herself—from inside out—with graceful rooms designed for your comfort. Every detail on board has been carefully thought through to bring the cultural riches of the world to you. Because we provide you with the most possible time to explore in port—and by law, ships’ casinos must be closed while in port—we realized an onboard casino would rarely be open, so instead we focused on creating spaces to inspire and refresh you along your journey.

For example, the dramatic lobby, where you can enjoy musicians playing regional and classical music over handcrafted cocktails—the perfect place to mingle with new friends or peruse the thoughtfully curated library to learn more about your next port. Or the Viking Piano Bar, an elegant destination where you can immerse yourself in intimate music. Truly, Viking Star is designed to maximize your experience of the destination. Revolutionary? Perhaps. But it is really just reinstating the original intent of the ocean cruise—to bring people up close to new destinations in comfort.
