Viking Star 2015 Cruisers List

[oldrunr]

Hi all,

 

We received our coin last week, though we never got an email about it beforehand. I hate to be the cynic, but I'd much rather have upfront information from Viking regarding the cruise than a coin. A coin--seriously. I don't get it. Talk to us Viking--that's what we need and want--information.

 

Just sayin'

Hello...we are a group of 8 adults sailing on the April 11, 2015 Istanbul to Venice cruise. Can't wait. The ship looks wonderful.

I'm posting this just to keep this thread alive. Have two other cruises before it. Next week, Azamara Quest transatlantic Miami to Nice and then Oceania's Nautica from Istanbul to Dubai in November. Since I have to make so many choices on Oceania I'm looking forward to the Viking Star mentality that they've figured it out for you. We'll see if that is true.

Happy spring, everyone.

I booked the Homelands cruise for 1st May 2016 last year - 2-and-a-half-years in advance! Being from the UK, we took advantage of the 'gratuities included' offer if booked by end of 2013. I'll be keen to see others' reviews of their experiences with the new ship next year. It certainly looks promising :)

We also booked this itinerary for July 2016-- Now I gotta wait 2 whole years! ...and no stinkin coin!;)

Greetings everyone. My wife and I are on the 11 JUN 15 departure from Bergen. We have done mostly Caribbean and Alaska cruising with RC. My wife did a Viking River trip last summer (while I was working :cool:) and enjoyed it. As far as ocean cruising goes, this will be a big step up for us as far as "expected" quality and itinerary. This is the kind of thing we said we would do when we retire......but hey, why wait, right? I look forward to meeting other travelers here who will be cruising with us. Cheers from Silver Lake, Ohio.

We are Bruce and Linda from Peoria, AZ and we are booked on the October 15 Mediterranean Odyssey. Don't see anyone else on this sailing yet.

We just booked the same cruise for April 3, 2016! Can't wait to hear about your experience. Are you adding on to Istanbul, if so, what hotel? It sounds like a fabulous trip.

Viking Star receives first 2 of its 4 new engines. Nice video and update on (2) more new Viking Ocean Cruise sister ships, Viking Sea and Viking Sky.

 

We're so excited, ready to book another Viking Ocean Cruise for 2016.

We are booked for the Venice to Barcelona leg of the cruise. We loved our Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Swizerland last summer and hope this ocean cruise will be as great. We'll be traveling with another couple, and we all are in our 60's, have traveled throughout the world, and love the excitement of discovering new places. Cruising is so relaxing.

My husband and I received our coin. We are booked on Viking Homeland July 25th, stateroom 3029, flying from Toronto July 24th. We are booked for the Oslo extension. Only 13 months away!!

[Bear_Music]

We're on the first two legs of the maiden, April of next year, Istanbul-Barcelona. Got one of the Deck 8 Starboard Deluxe Veranda staterooms. I call it the "photographer's deck" :-)

Thanks for sharing! We are on the same cruise as you. Although it is still more than a year away seeing that the ship has reached this stage is very exciting!

Nice to see The Star afloat and that they mentioned the first cruise was in April 2015 not May 2015!

[guka244]

Looking forward to our inaugural trip. If anyone is going on the full 50 day trip there is a forum we just found for Viking Empire. Not many folks on this blog, but suspect there should be a good size group going on the entire trip? Always enjoyed our Viking river cruises (China; Christmas Markets) as well as long adventures on HAL Prinsendam (Med/Africa; South America/Antarctica). Hoping this will be combination of Viking river hospitality and Prinsendam family...Can't wait...Karen and Guy (Buffalo, NY)

bcorre2, Thanks for sharing this great news. Viking Oceans should send this to everyone who has booked a cruise on her in 2015. It is nice to see her exterior finished and painted and ready for sea. I am only booked on the April 11 sailing and was aware that a lot could happen that would delay this cruise, and am relieved that things seem to be progressing on schedule.

[Vineyard View]

We are sailing May 2,2015 on Viking Star - Barcelona to Stockholm - 29 days - can't wait! Vineyard View and DH out of Northern California.

We are booked on the Viking Star for August 8th leaving from New York. Is anyone going on a pre cruise? We are considering Iceland for 3 nights.
