Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) Cruise Reviews

Heard excellent reviews about these Atlas cruises, so when it came time to choose a cruise to Antarctica we pulled the trigger with Atlas. Boat is a nice quality. Food was above average and the unlimited cocktails were a nice touch. Additionally, most of the on-board staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond when the ship left dock. Unfortunately, despite all of these positives ...

We were the guests on Swan Hellenic's cruise this year and we have been on many other cruises too. We feel compelled to share our recent experience with Swan Hellenic Cruises (SH) and advise against recommending their services to you, particularly those hailing from the USA and Canada. Our disappointment with Swan Hellenic stems from several concerning issues that we believe potential travellers, ...

My Mum and I choose this cruise to celebrate her 60th Birthday. We choose Hurtigruten because of their long experience in polar sailing and because of their science program. Antarctica itself was a magical experience but we left regretting our choice of cruise line. Hurtigruten markets itself as luxury for a reasonable price, but make no mistake- they are a budget cruise line with a budget product ...

We took the 9 day cruise trip to Antarctica through world navigator. Stateroom was nice and new. Food was decent although the portion is small. Entertainment are quite limited but they do have board games and pokers which customers can use. The cruise members are nice. There are also lectures which you can participated a couple of times a day. But world navigator really disappoints us as we ...

BE WARNED! - FALSE ADVERTISING, metal shield bolted over supposed “oceanview” window, nightmare manager, bedroom smelled of sewage, damaged property not compensated for, horrendous customer service, inappropriate behaviour from staff members towards female passengers, zero compensation when things go wrong! Alcatraz prison windows had nothing on this! It is completely bolted down with ...

The boat and ground experiences in Ushuaia were beyond disappointing. First Impressions of the Ocean Diamond: stained and dirty carpet, peeling wallpaper, and filth in every corner. Peeling paint, paint slopped onto windows, aged and dirty floral decorations. The straps holing lifeboat 1 were so corroded that it was obvious they had not been loosened in a very long time and gave rise to ...

Viking failed to deliver-big time. They are so disorganized -a big mess really. The flight here was chartered by Viking-the food was not eatable, there was no water or ice and some did not even get meals. The Covid pre -testing protocols are all over the place-they simply do not know what they are doing. As for the cruise itself- I suggest going with a cruise line that has experience in ...

Things change in travel and we are used to change. Atlas does not do change well. From the flight departure that kept changing to the constant change and re-change but of activities of the ship. My husband and I were lost and confused. We were told by our travel agents that there would be daily landings. We had two and they were short and uneventful. The worst part was that they were ...

Day 7 of our Ponant “Luxury” cruise. Today they told us that, because of maintenance, there will be no water on board from 2pm until 5pm. Typical of this remodel cruise. But first things first….DO NOT, EVER TAKE A PONANT RELOCATION (ie remodel) CRUISE. There are only 88 passengers on this cruise from Ushuaia Argentina to Easter Island instead of the 249 capacity so I guess they thought they ...

Only few ships go into the Ross Sea. That's why I didn't mind the rather poor design of Ortelius (the lecture room practically guarantees seasickness, uncomfortable bar area, too small dining room etc.). The ship's crew responsible for operating the ship and the hotel staff all were professional, friendly and helpful. However, the actual expedition and expedition staff was quite disappointing. ...
