Bali Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because having travelled extensively both by land and sea through Asia we hadn’t touched on Indonesia other than Borneo and the itinerary appealed to us. Embarkation was quick and efficient and we were able to access our stateroom immediately. The ship was lovely and very easy to negotiate our way around it. Public areas had lots of seating and were all aesthetically ...

This cruise was cancelled twice due to covid, but we finally got to do it in January. We embarked in Bali, and was very impressed with the organisation and friendliness of the staff. The cabin, balcony, and beds were comfortable, and adequate. The trips were quite expensive, and usually ended in a shopping experience! But that isn’t unusual. A couple of days into the cruise, we were ...

BENOA PORT EMBARKING:Waiting area perfect and covered but the cruise should ensure a plan B incase of crazy weather. We finally boarded right by the ship in sweltering heat where kids and elderly were having a heat stroke under no coverage with long cues until finally at the last minute Banoa port staff brought out seats and had celebrity staff giving out umbrellas. I travel to Bali alot and know ...

First time with Regent. Lovely ship and great cruise from Bali to Sydney. Cyclone went thru Cairns so all excursions cancelled at that port. Downgraded to category 1 so we really had no effects while at sea. Have cruised over a dozen times with others lines, first time with Regent. Nicest and largest room ever, plenty of storage, great room service except when we had to quarantine for 12 ...

The Viking Mars is a lovely ship. Very modern. The food and the service are outstanding. The two 5-star restaurants are wonderful, the general restaurant and the buffet also have excellent food and wonderful choices, from steaks, chicken to fish, to sushi, really something for everyone. The staff did have a bit of trouble keeping up with all the guests at peak dining time clearing a resetting ...

I chose this cruise because I have been on a few Viking cruises and have been extremely impressed by them. The thought of spending 2 days in Bali and 2 in Bangkok, going to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand sounded very exotic and far out of my normal travel destinations. The first day in Bali was really traveling as was the second day in Bangkok. Unlike other cruises I have been on, the ...

We chose this cruise because of the published itinerary but unfortunately many of the planned activities were cancelled because the crew felt tendering in zodiacs to shore would be too dangerous. Two planned days at sea turned into three. The ship is new only going into service in Nov 2022. The layout is beautiful, both cabins and public rooms. The restaurant food and staff were the highlight ...

I have been with Lindblad for many years now and this was my first trip on a beautiful expedition vessel Orion. I love every bit of it. Great expedition team, amazing Captain Alex and his crew. Hotel services, such as service, culinary, housekeeping were amazing. Stretch class in the morning, followed by a very nice outdoor breakfast, possible landing or a presentation in the lounge. Lunch in ...

We chose the Orion for the Panama Canal itinerary, especially since it sailed from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles. We enjoyed the historical lectures and the multiple Planetarium events, as well as the Canal Locks informative step by step discussion. The ship was well-appointed with very comfortable seating throughout the ship. Two smallish pools, with one being an infinity pool with the other ...

We chose this cruise because of the port calls in Vietnam and Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the cruise was canceled in Bangkok through an abundance of caution due to the Coronavirus. Yes this was disappointing, but this ensured that the ship and us did not got stuck in 14-days of quarantine somewhere. Regent did the right thing and was more than generous with the refund and future cruise discount. The ...
