Our Viking Story
In June of 2013 we received a booklet from Viking extolling their upcoming ocean-going vessel - the Viking Star - and an invitation to participate in the maiden voyage. Having already done three Viking River Cruises, we were intrigued and within a couple of days we'd booked this 50 day trip. For nearly two years following, we anticipated this adventure and meticulously planned for our sailing on 4/11/2015. At the time that seemed like an eternity away but now - almost precisely two years after booking - the trip is already in the rear-view mirror.
It had been our plan to provide real-time coverage but a combination of limited ship-board bandwidth and perhaps even more limited 70 year old energy, prevented this from happening. The re-creation is the best we could do. Please enjoy as much of the trip as you care to on the pages ahead.
