O C E A N S

Now, we reinvented the nature of the ocean cruise: custom-crafting itineraries for more time in port, so you can really explore—whether experiencing excursions that bring history and culture to life or discovering off-the-beaten-path adventures that enrich your journey.

On Viking Star, expand your horizons with like-minded explorers on a ship that is genuinely human in scale. She is designed with a comfortable intimacy to encourage lifelong friendships and an ease of discovery that larger ships simply cannot offer. So by journey’s end, you feel more connected—to your fellow travelers and your destinations. But of course, value for your money is also of great importance. As a company, we believe that a cruise should offer more than just transportation; that, like our river cruises, your fare should include all you need—from shore excursions to beverages, meals and wi-fi— not unpleasant surprises. That your ship should be built to enhance your destination, not to be the destination. And should you choose to explore more, you still have options to customize your experience, from our onboard Viking Concierge to optional excursions and privileged access behind the scenes. This is our vision; this is Viking cruising.

Reinventing Cruising

Join us as we usher in a new era of ocean cruising by taking the innovative thinking behind our award-winning river cruises and bringing it to the epic setting of the sea. This cruise experience is the one our river passengers inspired us to create. We have asked our guests, listened, observed—and now crafted the ultimate kind of cruise: one focused on destinations. And in 2015, we will take destination cruising from the rivers to the ocean with the maiden season of the beautiful Viking Star.

Travel should be so much more than just a trip, and we believe the best way to understand a country is through enrichment. On our cruises, you truly explore your destination— through its food, culture, countryside and customs. Perhaps you accompany the ship’s chef on a trip to a local market; go behind the scenes at a famous theater company; or even view private collections and hidden vaults at world-class museums.

We have a history of providing our guests a way to get below the surface, not just “check

off” each port. That’s why our ocean cruises are centered around where you go, not just how you get there—with hand-picked itineraries so you can immerse yourself in history, music, art, cuisine—everything about your destination. In addition, we include excursions led by knowledgeable local guides in every port of call. You learn about the lands through which you travel via enrichment lectures that bring history to life; through cultural adventures; in-depth pre-trip materials; and on-demand programming—all designed to help you experience the most from your travels.

When you understand local food traditions, you gain insight into local culture. At Viking, we believe cuisine is as much a part of travel as seeing the sights; that’s why we feature a sampling of regional specialties. On Viking Star, our restaurants are the perfect setting for your culinary discoveries, offering you choices from American classics and heart-healthy options to authentic regional delights to deepen your connection to your destinations. And since the ultimate “room” is the great outdoors, Viking Star offers more al fresco dining experiences than any ship at sea. Sample a Venetian risotto while you cruise through Venice; delight in a Turkish meze surrounded by the Bosphorus Sea, or enjoy gravlax as you glide through breathtaking fjords. Because part of your experience is dining in your destination —even when you’re on board.

With diverse locations to choose from, every dining area on Viking Star has been carefully considered. Our crown jewel is The Restaurant, with our widest choice of culinary offerings. You’ll want to return again and again because we created a daily-changing menu highlighting local cuisine so you can explore regional specialties. Your menu is ever-evolving to reflect the seasons, your destinations and locally sourced ingredients. But you have other options as well. Perhaps one night you reserve an intimate experience at The Chef’s Table for a tasting menu complete with wine pairings. Or make a reservation for the Tuscan experience of The Italian Grill to try antipasti or a steak grilled in the Florentine tradition. Wherever you find yourself on board, our restaurants offer menus that incorporate A R T I S T ’S R EN D ER I N G , WOR L D C A F É

When we set out to reinvent the ocean cruise, it meant reimagining the ship herself—from inside out—with graceful rooms designed for your comfort. Every detail on board has been carefully thought through to bring the cultural riches of the world to you. Because we provide you with the most possible time to explore in port—and by law, ships’ casinos must be closed while in port—we realized an onboard casino would rarely be open, so instead we focused on creating spaces to inspire and refresh you along your journey.

For example, the dramatic lobby, where you can enjoy musicians playing regional and classical music over handcrafted cocktails—the perfect place to mingle with new friends or peruse the thoughtfully curated library to learn more about your next port. Or the Viking Piano Bar, an elegant destination where you can immerse yourself in intimate music. Truly, Viking Star is designed to maximize your experience of the destination. Revolutionary? Perhaps. But it is really just reinstating the original intent of the ocean cruise—to bring people up close to new destinations in comfort.

Step into the Explorers’ Lounge and Wintergarden

Your Viking cruise is a journey to new discoveries—and your ship is designed to enhance those discoveries—not only in port, but also on board. The notion of civilized camaraderie in elegant surroundings is what inspired us to create the Explorers’ Lounge where fellow travelers can share their latest adventures. It’s the perfect setting to celebrate firsts, whether glimpsing your first fjord or savoring aquavit. Here, from expansive double-height windows, you can take in the spectacular approaches to the Aurlandsfjord or the Golden Horn of Istanbul. Comfortable and elegant, this is the place to unwind over a chilled pint from our craft beer selections. There may also be times when you yearn for serenity, and that’s the perfect occasion to visit the Wintergarden. Even here, our focus is on enrichment, as this is the place to relax and witness a calming tea ceremony or indulge in an afternoon tea service, complete with hand-selected teas, finger sandwiches and pastries.

Viking’s success comes from our people and has always been rooted in the personal service they provide.

TERMS & CONDITIONS NOTIFIC ATION:

Information contained in Viking Cruises brochures, website or advertising materials (“Viking Advertising”) is not an offer or a contract. The transportation of guests and baggage on all cruise vessels is provided solely by the operator and is governed by the terms and conditions printed on the Passenger Ticket Contract. For complete information on terms and conditions, itinerary, liability of Viking River Cruises Inc. dba Viking Cruises, liability limits and all sections mentioned below, refer to the Passenger Ticket Contract. A copy of each Passenger Ticket Contract named above is available from your travel agent or online at vikingcruises.com via the links just noted. PAYMENT POLICY:

A deposit for cruise fare of $500 per person is required to secure a confirmed reservation. Promotions may have different payment terms — please refer to the offer. When more than one cruise is booked, deposit and payment policies apply per cruise. The final balance is due no later than 90 days prior to sailing. All reservations are subject to cancellation if payments are not received by the due date. Air seats are limited; airfares are subject to change and are not guaranteed until full payment of air is received. Upon full payment by the participant(s) of the amount specified as the Full Fare (see Invoice), Viking Cruises agrees to arrange for the provision of the services as described in this brochure and as modified by supplementary materials. Upon either booking the cruise, receipt of your deposit or full payment or upon the issuance of the Passenger Ticket Contract directly or by a travel agent or upon receipt of a confirmation letter or final Invoice from us, both the Passenger and the Carrier will be fully bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract. RESERVATIONS:

To make a reservation, contact your local travel agency or call Viking Cruises, directly at 1-855-8-VIKING. PAYMENTS:

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, checks and Electronic Funds Transfer are all acceptable forms of payments. All payments made by check should be made payable to Viking Cruises. Some credit card companies may impose a “Foreign Transaction Fee” even though your transaction is denominated in U.S. dollars. This is an arbitrary fee that occurs in a small number of cases and accrues entirely to the credit card-issuing bank. Viking does not control these bank-imposed fees nor does Viking derive any benefit from them, monetary or otherwise; we are therefore unable to accept responsibility for the fees. C ANCELL ATION POLICY:

For any cruise booking, whether under deposit, partially paid, or paid in full and air-inclusive packages paid in full, the following travel agent or guest-requested situations are considered cancellations and penalties will apply as noted below: changes to departure date; substitutions of itinerary; substitution of another person for original booked guest(s); or changing to a promotional fare. All cancellations must be in writing. For all air-inclusive packages cancelled after issuance of an airline ticket, the air portion of the refund, if any, will be processed only after the return of airline ticket. The following cancellation charges will be assessed for all written cancellations received prior to departure up to the scheduled time of departure. Cancellation received Following charges will apply (Days before departure) 121 days or more $100 per person 120-90 days 15% of full fare 89-60 days 35% of full fare 59-30 days 50% of full fare 29-0 days 100% of full fare 82

Full Fare is defined as the full cost of any cruise, land or air component purchased from Viking. REVISIONS/CHANGES:

Once a cruise booking has a deposit or air is paid in full, all changes are subject to a $30 charge per change. See prior section under Cancellation Policy for additional details on situations which are classified as cancellations rather than changes. DOCUMENTS:

Documents will be issued approximately 3 weeks prior to departure. All early document requests will be charged a $25 early processing fee. TRANSFERS:

Roundtrip airport-to-ship or hotel transfers are only included when air is purchased with a cruise package. Transfers are only valid on cruise departure and arrival dates. If you should choose to make your own air arrangements, transfers may be purchased through Viking Cruises for an additional cost or you may make your own transfer arrangements. TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION/VISAS:

All guests must have passports valid for six months following disembarkation and necessary visas when boarding. Guests are advised to check with their travel agent or the U.S. Consulate Service to determine which documents they must obtain. If incorrect documents are obtained, guests will be unable to participate in particular shore excursions and may be denied boarding and/or entry into certain countries. Visa kits from an independent third party are provided upon request as a service to guests selecting Russia, China or Egypt destinations. Note: Due to airline security measures, your passport name must match your airline ticket name or you may be denied boarding. Travel documentation and visa requirements applying specifically to ocean cruise itineraries will be indicated as part of Viking Advertising materials and will also be provided to your travel agent upon booking. Viking Cruises accepts no responsibility for obtaining required visas nor for advising guests of visa or other immigration requirements. CHILDREN/MINORS:

Due to the nature of our cruise itineraries, Viking Cruises does not maintain facilities or services for children. On all cruises and cruise journeys, minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied and share a stateroom with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult over the age of 21. We reserve the right to limit the number of minors under the age of 18 years on board. The carrier reserves the right not to accept passengers who are in an advanced state of pregnancy either upon commencement of or at any time during the river or ocean cruise. DISABLED GUESTS:

You must report any disability requiring special attention while on your Viking Cruises itinerary to Viking at the time the reservation is made. All vessels and motorcoaches are equipped to European standards. Most transportation services, including the vessels and motorcoaches, are not equipped with elevators or wheelchair ramps. Viking will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled travelers, but is not responsible in the event it is unable to do so nor is it responsible for any denial of services by vessel operators, air carriers, hotels, restaurants or other independent suppliers. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a vacation participant for walking, dining, getting on and off vessels, motorcoaches and other vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion must accompany travelers who need such assistance and must assume full responsibility for their well being. The guest assumes the full risk of use and of any prohibitions imposed by vendors. Motorized scooters are not typically suitable on international cruises and cannot SEE MORE AT VI K I N G C R U I SES. C O M/ O C EAN S
