South America Luxury Cruises Cruise Reviews

Have never been to Brazil and was excited about the experience with the new expedition ships the Viking has developed. As expected Viking is a first class way to travel on any of their fleet of ships. Enjoyed meeting the expedition staff and the incredible informative including seeing/learning about microplastics, seeing the Hangar and Science Laboratory and the (BRUVS) Baited Remote Underwater ...

Our expedition on The Evolution far exceeded our expectations. We selected Quasar largely on the basis of its various awards, distinctions, and online reviews. We wanted to travel on a small vessel. We benefitted from the incredible ratio of 28 crew for 24 passengers! Three knowledgeable naturalists and a doctor were on board. We were impressed by impeccable and friendly service from the ...

Traveling to the Galapagos Islands with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution was one of the best travel experiences I have had so far. We had been looking forward to this trip because it was a destination we had on our Bucket List for a long time, and thanks to Quasar, the trip was everything we had hoped for and more. The whole process, from the contact with the team before the trip, the ...

The experience with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution is simply fantastic! My expectations were high as I had researched previously and they exceeded them by far. The first thing I want to highlight is the organization, there is nothing that is not covered by each and every one of the Quasar staff at every stage of the trip. From the airport, to the yacht, to the guides, everything is ...

Our group recently returned from a charter of the Quasar yacht, The Grace, in the Galapagos. The trip was nothing less than perfect! The crew of The Grace attended to our every need and wish, and always did it well and with a big smile. The food was first-rate; the service was impeccable; and they were a great group to spend a week with. The two naturalists on board with us were so knowledgeable, ...

We chose to do a two-week cruise through the Galapagos Islands. It was absolutely magical. Access and proximity to the wildlife was fantastic. We had several options every day to get close to nature: snorkel, kayak, panga ride or hike. Our guides were very knowledgeable about our destinations and prepared us for each activity (wet or dry landing, level of difficulty, expectations on what ...

Long live the Galapagos! Hail to Quasar. They have it all covered.Very competitive rates considering quality, length and detailed itinerary. I was not disappointed. Exceeded my expectations on every level. Staff was amazing. Anticipated every need. Guides were authentic, knowledgeable, humorous, very safety conscious in oft challenging terrain and varying guest abilities. Flawless. The ...

Viking never fails to offer an exceptional cruising experience. From their all-inclusive itineraries to their casual/fine dining, Viking, in our opinion, is heads and tails above the competition. We love having our flights, transfers and tours all organized for us. And, we enjoy the casual, sophisticated ambiance of the ocean cruise. Truly, Viking offers like-minded people an opportunity to ...

A change in itinerary gave this trip a total of 10 consecutive sea days. I wondered whether that would prove to be too many for us and whether we would be bored on a small ship with only a handful of fellow passengers. Turned out I should not have worried. The Octantis is very comfortable and perfectly familiar to anyone who has cruised on Viking Ocean previously. The small size made for a ...

I cannot give enough high praises to the crew and naturalists of the Evolution. My two kids (5 and 9 year olds) and I had the time of our lives! From being told to jump into the pangas to follow the Orcas right after our safety briefing, to snorkeling with sea lions, sharks, octopus, eels, penguins, cormorants, and endless beautiful fish, hiking by 100s of marine iguanas, Christmas iguanas, ...
