Viking Star deck plans

MV Viking Star (built in 2015) is the first of a 10-ship series of identical vessels built for Viking OCEAN between 2015 and 2027 (fleet). The vessel’s design was specifically developed for Viking’s “small ship travel” all-inclusive concept, combining the excursions-focused river cruising experience with an “affordable luxury” ocean cruise product.

Viking Star’s deck plan includes a total of 464 staterooms for up to 928 passengers, served by 470 crew and staff. She has 10 decks (6 with passenger cabins), 2 swimming pools (one infinity pool and one with a retractable roof), 2 outdoor Jacuzzis (whirlpool hot tubs), and 6 elevators (2 of which are panoramic with glass walls). This is an adults-only ship (minimum age requirement 16 years) with no dedicated children’s facilities or programs.

On all decks with cabins, there is a launderette (complimentary passenger-use laundromat). These self-service laundry rooms are equipped with ironing boards, washers, and dryers, with detergent provided free of charge.

Like her sister ships, Viking Star offers an intimate, boutique hotel-style atmosphere, featuring signature Scandinavian decor, luxury fabrics, spacious lounges with elegant leather furnishings, gourmet cuisine, and a curated art collection. Unlike most modern cruise ships, Viking OCEAN vessels do not include a casino (gambling lounge or bar).

Viking OCEAN ships incorporate some of the industry’s most advanced maritime technologies, including energy-efficient hybrid engines (diesel generators and gas turbines), optimized hull design, and bulbous bows for improved fuel efficiency. The design also integrates solar panels (installed on the Magradome pool cover), further reducing exhaust emissions.
