Great ship, great crew, but there's still work to be done

My Wife and I have always been adventurous and this trip to Buenos Aires, Tigre, Antarctica, and Patagonia seemed a must! The pre-trip was unexpectedly beautiful, especially Tigre. It was almost like going down the Amazon (but much closer to civilization).
The trip down to Ushaia and then Antarctica was EPIC and filled with adventures, a feeling of safety for both us and the environment, ...

We selected this trip because of the great itinerary, Viking's reputation for quality, and the multiple opportunities to explore Antarctica and experience the wildlife in different settings - at sea and on land. The Viking Polaris is a beautiful ship. It is accessible, with many places to wander and keep a close eye on the ocean, on whales and penguins, and on the beautiful scenery. The ship ...

This Expedition far exceeded our expectations in every way. The ship was fantastic, immaculate and beautiful. All crew members were extremely polite from the ship's crew to the expedition leaders, to the cooks and serving staff in all of the restaurants. The presentations in the Aula each day were very interesting and informative. The daily briefing by Berna and his staff were terrific and very ...

For a long time we had been thinking about visiting Antarctic but seemed like a difficult trip. Having cruised with Viking before, we received information about Viking Polaris and decided to take the chance. It was absolutely fabulous! Much more that I had imagined in every sense; from the design and styling of the ship, the destination, the kindness of the crew, the comfort of the cabins…to the ...

Went to visit the seventh continent in a new ship, and wow I will consider it my best cruise ever, everything went spectacular. We were lucky to have a great weather starting with the Drake passage and then all around the northern tip of the Antarctica peninsula, everything in the ship was first class, the service, the excursions, the food, even the scandinavian furniture and of course the room. ...

The pre-planning for this trip was a nightmare. They changed my outbound and return flights 3 times, gave me an 11 hr layover, and then changed my flights the day before I was supposed to leave, so I lost all my seat upgrades; And they refused to accommodate my request for the upgrades on the new flights. They treated me like I was stupid when I asked questions about meeting guides at airports ...

I've cruised 60 times on many cruise lines and all over the globe. A cruise of the Great Lakes last summer was my first with Viking Expeditions on their "Octantis", and the service and beautiful ship were definitely a convincing factor in my choice for Antarctica. There are many cruise lines visiting Antarctica, but Viking had one of the largest ships. I liked the new Polaris for its Polar ...

Always had Antarctica on our bucket list, so when Viking launched it's new expedition ships, were hooked. We like Viking because of their subdued approach: no kids, no casino, no loud music. A beige color scheme with nautical themes abound. Rather, interesting talks and in depth learning are provided. We were upgraded to a larger room which provided additional storage space on deck 4. The dining ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to sail the Polaris as well as spend time on Antarctica, instead of having what we call the "sail by" with a "there it is" commentary to go with it. In addition to being a cruise ship and an ice breaker (!), the Polaris is a research ship and the work of its world renowned scientists is amazing and will indeed make a big difference world-wide. We wanted a ...

This is our third Viking cruise. We were very pleased with the first two but a little disappointed this time.
Firstly, it is Antarctica expedition but the ship didn’t even reach the Antarctic circle. Most of the guests would probably not know that. The ship cruises around Antarctic peninsula where it is so close to the Antarctic Circle. It would be much greater psychologically for the guests ...
