Attractive pricing, wanted to try Viking and wanted to do an Atlantic Crossing. Viking ship size is ideal at around 930. Ship common areas are clean, very inviting and attractive. Some of the best in the industry. B Over ship accommodations are great and would highly recommend. Beer and wine offering at lunch and dinner are very nice and an added attractions over non all inclusive cruises. Pricing on this cruise was my main reason for booking. I did find the included air option to be a problem and as one might expect too restrictive. During the booking process it was recommended I wait and see what itinerary was offered before paying the additional fee for the airline selection option. I was told this should occur 60+ days before departure. This did not happen and once we received the itinerary it was totally unacceptable, taking well over a normal Atlantic crossing 16+ hours) with excessive layovers. When contacting the flight department we are now told all the other options were sold out.

Now after several calls We were final put in touch with an air departure supervisor and I'm happy to report she corrected the problem. It did cost extra but it was a reasonable increase. From this experience, I would suggest making sure you're happy with the air options before finalizing your cruise.

Cabin Review

Cabin Penthouse Veranda

Comfortable nicely furnished bright cabin, towards the front of the Viking Star. Room was larger than a standard Veranda with a nice benifit of a complimentary bar. Bar options were a bit limited but adaquate.
