Amazing Antarctic Expedition.

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fridtjof Nansen

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We chose this cruise because my husband got a nice discount being a United Airlines employee. We had never been on a cruise before. It’s pretty much the only way to experience Antarctica so we pulled the trigger - Antarctica was on our bucket list. Great expeditions, attentive staff and fabulous food. We were pleasantly surprised with how nice everything was. We had always thought cruises ...

Dining was very good. Just about anything you could want to eat. They did not make biscuits and gravy. I asked the head wait staff gentleman; he actually had the head chef make me some a couple of days later. What a great surprise, I felt like I was in the Owners Suite. Having access to all the dining rooms would have been better. The wait staff was excellent. Management staff was ...

First Viking Cruise - Really Enjoyed It

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Antarctica has been on the bucket list for a while now, so when Viking reached out with a free business class airfare offer, we immediately took advantage and booked. This was our first Viking cruise and likely not our last. Some points to consider: 1. Ship - small number of passengers and designed for exploration in Nordic comfort. Great design in the public spaces for conversation, ...

First cruise of Antarctica

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because it was the first time that a NCL ship would cruise Antarctica. We really enjoyed the 2 days spent cruising Antarctica. The captain was flexible in where we went and made changes according to the weather. NCL arranged for several professionals to be aboard who had worked in Antarctica, and they gave a number of presentations and also made announcements from the ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I chose this cruise for the itinerary. The experience was 0 stars. 1. Free WIFI was mostly no WIFI, when it was available it was agonizingly slow and kept disconnecting, allowed one device per cabin. IT was totally not interested in solving connection issues. Movies were not updated for 6 months. 2. Brown congealed lettuce was served in the salad bars, hot food not hot, cold food not ...

We chose this cruise because it was a special gift for one of our daughters. She wanted to see penguins :) and we wanted to go to Antarctica. Well we did not get the chance to step on the continent, but it was an amazing trip full of new adventures. We were in a two bed suite.. I would say the only downside of the room was the creaking :) ( the ship is getting renovated in '24). our room ...

A Luxury Cruise Line That Is Not As Good As Most Premium Cruise Lines

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Insignia

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We had not cruised for several years (pandemic and health issues) and were really excited to try a luxury cruise line. All of our previous 20 or so cruises have been with Premium cruise lines. We should have tried a short Oceania cruise before committing to a World Cruise so the fact that we were so disappointed was our fault entirely. On the positive side, the ship size was perfect. We were able ...

Too many days at sea

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We have been on six continents and I decided I needed to see the 7th so we decided to go to Antarctica. We are 70 and 75 so really too old to layer up, hop on a Zodiac and trudge across ice and snow to see a shack. I would have done it 20 years ago, but now, just seeing it was enough. We traveled on NCL during the pandemic and thoroughly enjoyed our voyages. We are independent travelers but ...

Bucket list cruise. Positives: amazing cruise itinery; ship staff in general very attentive. Naturalists were top notch and gave interesting lectures. Open bridge was a nice addition. Did not go to evening shows so cannot comment. Negatives: lazy butler; nice cabin but not spectacular; weak/no Wi-Fi in cabin (went to Azure cafe to connect to the internet); no place to hang wet clothes; no ...
