Our first ocean cruise - aboard Viking Star, the newest of the Viking fleet, and its first ocean ship. With only 900 passengers, it is one of the smallest, and certainly the most enjoyable holiday. Arriving in Rome, we were met by several Viking personnel who welcomed us warmly and showed us through to baggage claim, where once we identified our luggage it was quickly whisked away to be transported separately by van to the ship. We were escorted to our comfortable coach and with little delay to the ship.

The checking through the dock took a short time, with photographs being taken for identification on board, then onto the ship, which looked superb! Within minutes we were on the 5th level to be met by our steward for the trip, Fasri, who already knew our name and showed us around our room and facilities (which were excellent!) Water, soft drinks, snacks, coffee machine, hairdryer, mini binoculars, cashmere blanket, smart TV, and the crisp bedding with 2 types of pillows.

We were also met by a bottle of champagne and a birthday cake for me :)
