This is was our second Viking Ocean Star sailing. 1st one was May-June 2015 Viking Homelands. We loved it then and we loved the 2nd sailing just as much. Previous to the Viking Ocean Cruises we sailed on three Viking River Cruises. Danube, Rhine and Yangtze.
Mediterranean Odyssey - October 2017 cruise only. We flew in 2days early with friends we met on Viking Ocean Star in 2015 and made our own arrangements in Barcelona, exploring many of the exiting city sites - La Sagrada Familia; Guell Park and strolled Las Ramblas from our Hotel on the same street. A third couple met up with us on board ship two days later.
We extended our stay in Venice by 2days with hotel stay 3min. from Saint Marks Square which also offered complimentary water-taxi to Murano.
