I had never been to South America and this cruise covered a big number of interesting places -- without being too long or having too many "days at sea". We saw a great deal in Chile, Cape Horn, Uraguay and Argentina in 18 days. The food, service, friendliness, quality, entertainment, cleanliness, activities, and facilities were all great! We had to pass on the Falklands due to safety issues, so be ...

We always bring our fun so....... Anyway, here are some thoughts on this adventure. Ship is 20 years old and showing her age. Didn't stop the fun. Beds were comfortable, water was hot and toilets flushed. Food in main dining room was excellent - I've always found the upcharge restaurants on HAL to miss the mark - the Pinnacle Grill and Canaletto's just aren't what they should - buffet was ...

We are not cruise people but are intrepid trailers. To say we were delighted by the attention and care of every detail of our expedition would be a sore understatement.The ship was spectacular- every detail from the way the closets were laid out to the comfort and amenities of the common areas was super thoughtful and clever and luxurious in an understated, tasteful way. The down-to -earth ...

We missed the bus pick up due to 3 late flights but a private transfer was arranged for us without any problem. As usual, greeted with a glass of bubbly upon embarkation then straight up to the World Cafe for lunch. Our cabin was on deck 3 in a good location on the port side. I loved the cabin, especially the new wardrobe configuration. There was much more space and more coat hangers than on the ...

My husband and I were onboard Viking Polaris in October, going from Valparaiso in Chile to Ushuaia in Argentina. We saw many beautiful fjords and glaciers; we visited fascinating cities and hiked an unscheduled trail that turned out more stunning than the original trail in Punta Arena. (The original hike was changed by the local operator due to the weather.) But the biggest surprise on this ...

Beautiful ship but definitely for Antarctica

We chose this trip from Santiago Chile through the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale because we wanted to try an Expedition ship and I don't like cold weather. Everything is geared towards the Arctic however and there really wasn't much to do on the ship. We had a nature lecturer and a historian but the talks were mostly on the Arctic. The "toys" on board are only licensed to be used in Antarctica ...

We scheduled this cruise on the spur of the moment when we received a flash sale email. It was our first Viking cruise and it couldn't have gone better. The fact that the Polaris was only 1/3 full gave the ship a kind of surreal atmosphere (we wonder what it would be like with a full compliment of guests). Reservations at the specialty restaurants were easy to get, excursions were easily ...

We would not normally book Viking due to cost. We did book this cruise due to timing and a very deep sale in effect. However, after this experience, we are convinced that Viking is virtually an all inclusive experience...rather than nickel and diming you at every junction. Although our jr suite included unlimited laundry, every deck had a free launderette with 5 washers and 5 dryers for guest ...

We are not cruisers. We took this cruise because the itinerary was one that we could not easily recreate by land. We really wanted to see Cape Horn, Amalia Glacier and the Falkland Islands. This cruise was perfect for that. It didn't disappoint as we saw all of these sights, and more. We were impressed with Viking's thoroughness and attention to detail as they met us in Santiago and took care ...

We chose this cruise and cruise line based on recommendations from our friends who had been on this cruise. - The Jupiter's crew and staff were polite, professional and personable. - The cleanliness of our cabin was above expectation. - The food in all the restaurants was delicious. - The actual port stops and seeing the Chilean Fjords early in the morning was ...
