oldrunr Posted February 27, 2014 #126 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi all, We received our coin last week, though we never got an email about it beforehand. I hate to be the cynic, but I'd much rather have upfront information from Viking regarding the cruise than a coin. A coin--seriously. I don't get it. Talk to us Viking--that's what we need and want--information. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith5744 Posted March 19, 2014 #133 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm posting this just to keep this thread alive. Have two other cruises before it. Next week, Azamara Quest transatlantic Miami to Nice and then Oceania's Nautica from Istanbul to Dubai in November. Since I have to make so many choices on Oceania I'm looking forward to the Viking Star mentality that they've figured it out for you. We'll see if that is true. Happy spring, everyone.

mrsgoggins Posted March 30, 2014 #134 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I booked the Homelands cruise for 1st May 2016 last year - 2-and-a-half-years in advance! Being from the UK, we took advantage of the 'gratuities included' offer if booked by end of 2013. I'll be keen to see others' reviews of their experiences with the new ship next year. It certainly looks promising :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairfield Nana Posted April 4, 2014 #135 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We also booked this itinerary for July 2016-- Now I gotta wait 2 whole years! ...and no stinkin coin!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownsFan12 Posted April 5, 2014 #136 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Greetings everyone. My wife and I are on the 11 JUN 15 departure from Bergen. We have done mostly Caribbean and Alaska cruising with RC. My wife did a Viking River trip last summer (while I was working :cool:) and enjoyed it. As far as ocean cruising goes, this will be a big step up for us as far as "expected" quality and itinerary. This is the kind of thing we said we would do when we retire......but hey, why wait, right? I look forward to meeting other travelers here who will be cruising with us. Cheers from Silver Lake, Ohio.

susan123 Posted June 3, 2014 #141 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Bob & Margie,So are we! Considering the second leg of Venice to Barcelona for 2016. Becki & Garrett We are booked for the Venice to Barcelona leg of the cruise. We loved our Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Swizerland last summer and hope this ocean cruise will be as great. We'll be traveling with another couple, and we all are in our 60's, have traveled throughout the world, and love the excitement of discovering new places. Cruising is so relaxing.

kathy9 Posted June 29, 2014 #146 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nice to see The Star afloat and that they mentioned the first cruise was in April 2015 not May 2015! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guka244 Posted July 1, 2014 #147 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Looking forward to our inaugural trip. If anyone is going on the full 50 day trip there is a forum we just found for Viking Empire. Not many folks on this blog, but suspect there should be a good size group going on the entire trip? Always enjoyed our Viking river cruises (China; Christmas Markets) as well as long adventures on HAL Prinsendam (Med/Africa; South America/Antarctica). Hoping this will be combination of Viking river hospitality and Prinsendam family...Can't wait...Karen and Guy (Buffalo, NY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmcd Posted July 1, 2014 #148 Share Posted July 1, 2014 bcorre2, Thanks for sharing this great news. Viking Oceans should send this to everyone who has booked a cruise on her in 2015. It is nice to see her exterior finished and painted and ready for sea. I am only booked on the April 11 sailing and was aware that a lot could happen that would delay this cruise, and am relieved that things seem to be progressing on schedule.
