Entertainment on the Viking Sun

In addition to excursions at our ports of call, there is a LOT to do on the Viking Sun! 

Each evening at 9:15, we have a show in the Star Theater.  So far we have had a variety of singers (country, pop, Hispanic), a classical pianist, magicians, and Argentinian Gaucho dancers & rope twirlers. On Christmas Day, the entertainers on ship and some staff sang Christmas songs.  Our cruise director, Heather Clancy, wowed us with her beautiful voice.

We listened to Mike Mentz, who has performed in Nashville, on Dec 28, and Doug Cameron will perform Dec 29 with his electric violin.  The evening entertainment is very good and well attended.

Around the ship, you can also listen to Kalman, the resident pianist; Laszlo, the resident guitarist; the Viking duo (piano and singing), and a trio playing classical music.

There are almost daily enrichment talks by experts on culture, history, music & the arts, and engineering feats that we will see on the cruise.  The day before each port stop, the cruise director and shore excursion team tell us about what we will be seeing and doing. 

There are cooking demonstrations, daily afternoon tea in the Wintergarden, movies in the theater or under the stars by the pool, dance classes, and trivia competitions.  For those who like to play bridge or mahjong, groups have formed for those games.

The spa offers free use of a thermal pool with waves, a hot tub, steam room and ice grotto.  It is really refreshing to sit in the thermal pool or steam room for 10 minutes, then go into the snow grotto for 5 minutes to cool off.  A good way to cleanse the body of toxins (or too much alcohol).
