Viking's Century Star

We sailed with Viking on the Century Star in 2004 during that company's first year in China. The Century Star was a refurbished vessel which held just under 200 passengers, around 100 less than the Century Sun which was built in 2006 and the Century Sky which was constructed in 2005 according to the information in Viking's China Expeditions catalog. So what happened to the Century Star? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

I just put down the deposit for a China trip, sailing on the Century Star. It's not owned by Viking and it's hard finding reviews on it. What's up? Who owns this ship?!

So, how did the cruise go? Any tips? Heading that way on this ship in the fall...........

Best I can do:

Thank you Essiesmom, I just ran across your reply to my inquiry concerning Viking's Century Star today when I was researching Viking. I'm sorry that I no longer expected to hear from anyone regarding a reply to my original post in 2006 and unfortunately I stopped checking... LT
