Has anyone sailed on Viking Star cabin 4001--Explorer Suite?  How did you enjoy the balcony?  Thank you.

We spent about 3 weeks in cabin # 4000, which is a mirror image on the Port side. The balcony is fairly large, but had no access fwd of the cabin. It does have a small walkway fwd, but only for the crew.

 

They have deckhead to deck windows between the structural steel fwd, which provides an excellent windbreak. Going through Suez Canal we had views of both banks fwd of the ship and down the Port side (Stbd side for 4001)

 

Came with a small table, so we enjoyed lunch on the balcony during the Canal transit.

 

Very sheltered, no wind issues, even a full speed going through pirate alley.

If the set up is the same as on Sea and Orion, there's also two loungers with nice padded cushions. They are sheltered from the elements but still have a good view. An excellent place to sit and watch the sea go by.

Last time we were able to watch an albatross fishing and gliding in the air currents from the bow, and dolphins playing

Thanks, forgot to mention the loungers, as the Sun also had them.

Thank you.  This will be very helpful to my husband.

We travelled with a couple who were in 3001, the next deck down and they loved the room but complained of the noise in the early morning hours when we were docking and the anchor was being lowered. It was very noisy.
