Expedition experience.
Previous Viking experience.
Most amazing cruise………just perfect.
Excursions were completed with professionalism and great knowledge. You could clearly see that staff were fully engaged to provide the passengers the best possible experience. Ensuring safety at all points were also visible at every moment. Direct involvement with some of the scientists elevated each ...
This 7-day cruise was part of a 3-week India experience and definitely one of the highlights. Our group of 19 arrived at Jorhat airport and was transferred by vehicles to the ship at Neamati Ghat.
Cruising through the vast expanse of the Brahmaputra was wonderful, and I particularly enjoyed the emphasis on nature and wildlife. The safaris by boat, elephant and jeep through the Kaziranga ...
The Viking experience from beginning to end exceeded our expectations. The ship, facilities on board, and particularly the crew/staff were exceptional. Food and service could not have been better. All requests of the staff were promptly and cheerfully attended to. The Antarctic experience was wonderful and a trip of a lifetime, with excursions that were wonderful and very safe. We were able ...
This review is based on an eleven day Quark trip to Antarctica on board the World Explorer in late November/early December 2023.
First, getting to Antarctica takes a long time. From Toronto it took a total of 17 hours flying time, more or less due south, and two days at sea to reach the continent. Your carbon footprint will be very big and very sooty by the time you get there. If this bothers ...
We’ve been looking at an Antarctica trip for a few years now (our 7th continent), finally decided to pull the trigger this year. The Viking staff made it a memorable experience for us! We had perfect weather, and we enjoyed the shore excursions, the onboard cuisine and talks from the Viking staff scientists! It was nice to have the included shell coat and inner lining, with Viking providing the ...
We wanted to see the white continent. While there are cheaper options to do so Lindblad was 100% the right choice for us. All of the excursions were included and we were able to see so much in the short time we were there. We walked alongside penguin highways, saw Gentoo, Adelie and Emperor penguins mere feet away from us. We saw Weddel, Crabeater, Fur and Leopard seals and even witnessed a 4 week ...
The crew members on the ship made this trip very enjoyable. They were all very attentive, professional, and pleasant to be around. The ship itself was top notch- we didn't want to leave after the voyage!
The entertainment was very nice and relaxing, this combined with the top notch bartending made the lounge area very sought after. It was the perfect environment to read, play games, relax or ...
Viking knows how to treat their guests! Every single person that worked on the ship was so nice and very helpful. And the food was fabulous in both restaurants and the World Cafe! The World Cafe should be renamed to reflect the quality of the staff and food - far superior than what you think a “cafe” is. This cruise was by far the best one we’ve ever been on. Superior to all others. We’ve already ...
My wife and I recently took a 11 night Aranui 5 cruise to the Marquesas Islands. We are glad that many previous reviewers had a great time on this ship.
There were some positive aspects for us including magnificent scenery, a good sized cabin and a few staff who did their best for passengers.
We found the cruise most disappointing especially given the price. Wish we had done more research - ...
About us: couple in mid 60's well travelled not always on cruise ships. We have no loyalty to any cruise line and our sole driver is destination, mainly wildlife and scenery.
Since visiting a travel show around 4 years ago Antarctica was on our bucket list. Eventually chose Hurtigruten and Roald Amundsen as we thought the price was reasonable and it included the Falklands. Booked as a package ...
