With its arrival, the ship, which commemorated its first U.S. port of call in Boston on Oct. 11, became the first Viking Ocean ship to sail into a North American port.
Viking Ocean ships feature all-veranda staterooms, a covered pool and an infinity pool, Viking’s LivNordic Spa and multiple dining choices, including The Restaurant, the World Café and the Chef’s Table. Guests receive complimentary beer and wine, Wi-Fi, self-service laundry, and 24-hour room service.
Star will sail this weekend to San Juan, Puerto Rico—with TMR editor Cheryl Rosen on board as part of a press contingent. From there, it will sail an 11-day West Indies Explorer itinerary with calls in the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, Guadeloupe, St. Kitts, St. Martin and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
