Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Viking Octantis

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We have taken approximately 50 ocean voyages on several different cruise lines, trying each of those lines multiple times in our attempt to develop rounded and fair assessments. We're in our 70s, so some cruise lines - while perfect for families or the younger partying set - don't appeal to us. We have developed a short list of our favorites and longer list of our "never agains". Prior to this ...

Going to Antarctica was a lifelong dream, and when I saw there was a South Georgia itinerary, we decided - "Let's go for it". Definitely a once in a lifetime expedition for us as we're getting older. Although we are well warned, anything can happen on an expedition cruise, and before you make a $60,000 commitment (included Patagonia extension and Viking trip insurance, + room upgrade), I ...

My wife and I have taken 59 cruises. This exploration has completed our trip around the world. We have been to all seven continents. The staff and crew on the ship were excellent. The food was excellent. Our cabin was a good size with plenty of space. The window allowed us to see what was going on outside all of the time. The trips on the Zodiac and the Special Operation Boat provided us ...

I had high expectations and they were exceeded. The scenery was stunning. The outings were well executed. The staterooms and public spaces were beautiful and comfortable. And the food was outstanding. I was especially delighted with the number and quality of vegetable choices. Many meat choices as well. I was able to eat healthy delicious food, as good as I cook at home.
We had one or ...

Everything about this cruise was better than anticipated (except for one thing).
SHIP
The ship was beautiful. It was simultaneously elegant and comfortable. I loved the public spaces to relax and enjoy the view, a good book, or a delicious cappuccino. This was a smooth sailing ship Even through the large swells of the Drake Passage, the ship gave a smooth quiet ride. We felt the ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
We selected Viking based on early reviews, reputation, excursions that were offered and size of the ship (not too large or small). All the staff were great, very friendly, helpful and with a true desire to make the cruise an exceptional one. The food was excellent, whether one of the 2 restaurants or the buffet. On multiple days, there was lobster tail, varied steaks, and numerous specialties. ...

My wife and I are seasoned travelers who have taken numerous cruises with several different cruise lines. This Viking Cruise was the absolute best of all.
We took our son and daughter/in-law with us on this expedition cruise to Antartica as a Christmas trip because visiting that continent has been my lifelong dream. This cruise certainly did not disappoint us. From our arrival in Buenos Aires ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s
This was my first Viking cruise. It was a journey I had wanted to do for a very long time and I choose Viking because it made coordinating two adults from two different locations stress free (oh, there were the numerous Viking veteran recommendations). Immediately, Viking made it obvious that this was not their first rodeo: Every detail, from making air port connections, going through customs, ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
This was my very first cruise - and it so happen to be with the Viking Cruise. I am glad that it was with them - the crew were amazing, very professional, friendly, very helpful and they made each guest special specially when you celebrating a special occasion ( in this case my birthday).
The entire trip was very relaxing, there were educational activities and the entertainment is pleasing and ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s
This was my first ever cruise and I really didn’t know what to expect, but Viking has left me with some really high expectations for any future cruises I take.
The staff were incredible. I have never seen such a positive and on top of it staff anywhere before this. The traveling to and from the ship was very well organized and (as an anxious traveler) I really appreciated how smooth the ...
