Viking Star

Viking Star is the lead ship of the Viking Star class and the first ocean cruise ship operated by Viking Ocean Cruises, designed by SMC Design with interior work by Rottet Studio to embody modern Scandinavian elegance while prioritizing access to destinations. Built by Fincantieri in Italy, the vessel features a hydrodynamically optimized hull for fuel efficiency and as a relatively small ship, is able to access most ports directly for efficient embarkation and debarkation. The ship successfully completed extensive sea trials in the Aegean Sea before entering service in April 2015, followed by two sister ships that joined the fleet in 2016.
