The first leg of this journey was from Lima, Peru to Santiago, Chile. This first part was interesting but the protests, strikes, and safety concerns made some of the ports feel uninviting. We were onboard for Antarctica mainly and this cruise did not disappoint.
Antarctica is one of the most spectacular places on the planet and to be able to kayak, walk on sea ice, photography wildlife, and ...
I thoroughly enjoyed my cruise in South America. The food was excellent and there were an abundance of choices on the dining menus. The service was excellent and I ate all meals in the dining room, except two times.
The ship had various special nights in the buffet and there were nice with a great quality selection of seafood. I especially liked the caviar breakfast.
The enrichment ...
The itinerary was fabulous. I had underestimated how beautiful the Chilean fjords were.
The ship is beautiful, and luxurious with great cabins.
Excellent service and style. Fabulous food for an adventure cruise.
Helicopter and submarine rides were great.
Didn't see much on the sub ride.
The main swimming pool is in the middle of the lunch restaurant.....WEIRD!
Crew and ...

The Eclipse is a unique ship and not inexpensive to book, so it is important to understand what to expect. Furthermore, my wife and I are in no way connected to Scenic. ...
We enjoyed this cruise very much. We have been on Oceania before, and chose this cruise for the itinerary of Lima to NYC. It was the middle leg of getting the ship from Tahiti, where it had spent the winter, to Europe, where it will spend the summer.
We love O for the food, and the food was quite good. The new Dom Perignon events were great (separate charge, but great value for the money). ...
We chose this cruise because Oceania has smaller ships and their food is excellent.
This was a South America cruise going from Lima Peru to Buenos Aires Argentina. Being the month of March in the Southern Hemisphere, we expected and received September type temperatures like the Northern Hemisphere.
Sirena is very well kept still clean and attractive though it will be renovated soon. I like ...
I had told my husband that my bucket list was to see Machu Picchu and had been since high school. So we booked on the Pursuit. We had heard there were problems with food etc but to us it’s just something that will happen because it’s a new ship with new staff learning the ropes with seasoned staff from some of the other ships. We never went on this cruise with high expectations because of the ...
We had a previous experience on SilverSea which was delightful and we wanted to try them again. SS did not disappoint us as the dining, entertainment, staff were all first rate. The shipboard services are excellent from butler to laundry availability.
The shore excursions on this trip were somewhat limited by the ports of call (only 2 ports). The ones we were chose were very good except the ...
WE love Oceania Cruise Line. We didn't specifically choose Insignia, we choose the itinerary. That being said, being on Insignia was an added bonus. This was our third adventure on Insignia. From Captain Flokus to crew members, the vessel is small yet large and very personal. The food was excellent. Booked on Marina this October. Cusomter Service, specifically, William Park, is extraordinary! The ...
I wanted just to get away and see something that I hadn't seen before. We did a pre-cruise to Machu Picchu and it was awesome! On board the ship was small and intimate. There was a variety of dining areas that were included in the price, Italian, Chinese etc. The Red Ginger (Chinese ) was the best. Had a lovely coffee bar. We had been up graded to a penthouse suite which was great except came ...
