We had done two river cruises with Viking and decided to try the Ocean Cruise and selected the Mediterranean cruise for it's wonderful ports of call. By every measure Viking Star met or greatly exceeded all of our expectations. Beautiful ship, excellent service, wonderful food, great entertainment, and wonderful tour options. We already had a great experience with Viking on the river cruises - we can now add Viking Ocean to our list of wonderful experiences. The public areas of the ship were so welcoming and conducive to meeting with friends for a drink before dinner. The dining options were wonderful - Manfredi's was by far our favorite! However not to slight the other options, they were just as good with lots of options, ability to accommodate our large group at times. The shows were good and the entertainment at Torshavn was awesome! if I had one thing to find issue with would be the night the entertainment was by the pool. it was very difficult to get seating to see the performers - not sure why this was held there but it was not the best option as far as we were concerned to perform a show. We loved the lunches where the food was prepared out on the Aquavit terrace - such a great option! All in all a fabulous experience.
