Could have been perfect

Review for a South America Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

Trishmc170
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Chose for a special birthday as liked the look and size of vessel when launched. The itinerary was very different and date worked well for us. all travel arrangements worked well and nice hotel overnight in Panama.Embarkation was very quick and shown straight to superb suite. Only one disappointment in cabin - the terrible and dangerous configuration of wardrobe door with bathroom door. Rest of ...

Review for a South America Cruise on Marina

AngieKP
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This was our second cruise with Oceania, although we are frequent cruisers. This cruise did not disappoint. The staff were excellent, extremely friendly yet professional. It is lovely when they remember your name and I marvel at their ability to learn new names every few weeks! The ship was spotlessly clean and had plenty of seating and pool chairs all the time so there was no sense of ...

Missed opportunities and misinformation

Review for a South America Cruise on Marina

Looking for a three-fer: Machu Picchu, Panama Canal, and Chichen Itza, BUT 1. Turmoil in Peru - no Pre cruise visits 2. Canal - cool; bucket list, but poor excursions 3. Railroad repairs blocking roads, no Big Mayan event. 1 of 3 done. Cabin and floor crew - outstanding - 10 floor Dining - good specialties, fair grand dining room; Terrace - just no. Food availability limited - ...

Fantastic boat and cruise

Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Polaris

Firstcruice
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This is a fabulous cruise from Argentina through Chile, a part of the world most people have never encountered. The weather is not totally ideal and can be a bit limiting but Viking does everything in their power to make up for it and provide alternatives. The ship is beautiful and the size is perfect for making many new friends! I loved the zodiacs, Special Operations boat, and of course the ...

Incredible chance of a lifetime to see unexplored planet earth

Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Polaris

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

Once we got on the ship, our trip was seamless. I have gluten and dairy allergies and the executive chef and all of the staff were wonderful about making sure that I was not "contaminated", which I deeply appreciated. Nothing worse than getting sick while on vacation! The food on the ship was incredible...so many choices and we kept discovering different places to eat and areas of the restaurants ...

Pleasureful experience on first expedition cruise.

Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Polaris

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Priced right and good dates to Chile which we wanted to experience when previous trip to Chile cancelled. Outstanding service and staff. Expedition/science lectures great. Liked Chris Johnson’s friendly personality and knowledge. Star gazing night was bright experience for us even in darkness. Sharing info on scheduled events somewhat limited. Paperless makes info flow challenging. Would liked to ...

Disappointing Journey on the Amazon River

Review for a South America Cruise on Seven Seas Voyager

beachlovers817
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Amazon and because we had been on a fantastic cruise on the Regent Explorer last fall. There was no comparison between the 2 experiences and we brought another couple with us on the Voyager after telling them how great Regent is! The cabins & public spaces on the Voyager need to be completely redone but really I think Regent should just sell ...

Not a nearly what I had expected.

Review for a South America Cruise on Seven Seas Voyager

Schwarro
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

It is hard to compared cruise companies, especially if the itineraries are quite different, but it seems that comparisons between SilverSeas and Regent Seven Seas makes sense. They are both considered Ultra Luxury. We have sailed several times on Silver Seas and have been quite happy. We chose Regent for this trip because of time and itinerary. Relative to SilverSeas, Regent was as or somewhat ...

Octantis provided an amazing expedition experience

Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Octantis

CruiseCritic98
2-5 Cruises • Age 80s

My trip of a lifetime to Antarctica on the luxurious Viking Octantis was a thrilling experience. I must use a walker to move about but the expedition staff and crew told me that they would do whatever was necessary to ensure that I could enjoy activities off the ship. Because environmental rules would not allow me my walker ashore, I never set foot on Antarctica but nonetheless I had a very ...

Some highlights…but also lowlights

Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Octantis

Highlands4118
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

This was our fourth Viking cruise but first expedition with our earlier experiences being river cruises. I would give the river cruises the highest possible rating which might be why this cruise did not live up to our expectations. First, the air transportation provided by Viking was abysmal. The flights involved many seemingly extra connections and in Chile, couples did not get seats next to ...
