Viking Ships Return to the Americas, Episode 19 On Board the Viking Star

Viking Cruises, the popular river cruise company recently launched itself into the ocean liner industry and, the Viking Star, just christened in 2015 is now in the Americas entertaining a Caribbean cruise itinerary from its base in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

After its historic voyage, following the footsteps (or really the wake) of famous viking explore Leif Erikson to the Americas over 1000 years ago, the Viking Star made way to New York City for a four day passage at sea to its new home in Puerto Rico. I boarded in New York and experienced (and enjoyed) my first ever Viking Cruise and captured my thoughts in this month’s podcast. Listen in and enjoy.

    You know I love Viking and after trying out their river cruise in May, I’d love to check out the ocean cruise in 2017. I loved following your trip and as always love the podcast. Maybe we can cruise together again one of these days!!

      There is certainly a LOT to love about Viking….. glad you loved the journey and podcast… appreciate the sentiment. I hope to sample or rather experience the river cruise at some point… Maybe 2017, and hopefully 2017 for our next adventure too… Stay adventurous, Craig

    Sweet. I have done 2 Viking cruises (one river and one Mediterranean Sea) in Europe. I bet the North America voyages will be very popular.

      Excellent… after my (too short) ocean experience, I’d really like to take a river cruise with them in Europe…. Viking clearly offers a quality product, I suspect they well stay popular, Craig
