Had to choose cruise to make up for longer Malta cruise cancelled due to covid. Chose cruise for fjord scenery and big upgrade in room. Loved the Penthouse Suite which saved the day in so many ways.

Viking Star – Part of its maiden voyage from Barcelona to Bergen Norway and took the Viking add on to Iceland.
The ship is fantastic – overall an excellent design, very high tech. There is plenty of space so you never feel crowded. The infinity pool is small, but seemed adequate for the amount of people that used it. State rooms are plenty big enough with quality beds and the best bathrooms of ...
