E X P L O R E R S ' L O U N G E SER ENE SCANDINAVIAN SPACES Every room a living room EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS on elegant, intimate ships, thoughtfully designed by experienced nautical architects and designers to help you connect with your destination in every way. When we set out to reinvent the ocean cruise, we reimagined our ships completely — from the inside out — with graceful rooms designed for your comfort and serenity. We have no casino or childrens' pools; instead we created open, light-filled spaces to inspire and refresh you along your journey. We have designed our ships down to the most minute detail — from the serene Wintergarden, perfect for a calming cup of tea; to our Scandinavian-inspired Spa, a Nordic sanctuary of wellness; to the Explorers' Lounge, where you can share your latest adventures with fellow travellers as you take in spectacular approaches to the Geirangerfjord or the cascading temperate rainforests of Alaska's Inside Passage. ART, LITER ATURE & HERITAGE INFUSE YOUR EVERY MOMENT. Our elegant spaces are complemented by a thoughtfully curated onboard collection of art, books and vestiges of history. • Peruse classic and contemporary paintings, sculptures and photographs by esteemed Scandinavian artists. • See one of the largest collection of works by master expressionist Edvard Munch outside of Oslo's Munch Museum. • Admire the detailed Bayeux Tapestry, which tells the story of the Battle of Hastings and the Vikings' connection to this significant event. • Enjoy our Met Under the Stars, select showings of the Metropolitan Opera's magnificent performances. • In our well-curated Library, select from a broad range of titles from history to architecture. • Visit the Viking Heritage exhibit to browse replicas of tools and clothing from the Viking Age. • Through iconic lectures and roundtable discussions, gain invaluable insight into the rich history of your destination from our onboard Viking Resident Historian. • Our Viking Art Guide app enhances your experience further with insightful commentary about our onboard art and unique Scandinavian spaces. Viking Star is one of the "most luxurious and design-forward vessels sailing today." – Andrew Sessa, Architectural Digest vikingcruises.com.au/oceans 20
