This was a bucket list trip for me. We embarked in Buenos Aires and took it all the way to Los Angeles, around Cape Horn. The scenery around Cape Horn is truly spectacular. The cruise was 32 days.
Even though my wife and I are in our early 70s, I think we were probably younger than the average passenger on the ship. There was one family that had two children. If there were other children ...
The cruise was incredible. Life-changing excursions in Antarctica and South Georgia. Surrounded by wildlife in no way controlled or influenced by humans. Our expedition team was tireless and effective at getting to fantastic destinations despite challenging weather conditions- which are common with Antarctic cruises. The food was satisfactory, especially given we had no ports of call to restock. ...

Why We Chose Flora
Flora was recommended by our travel advisor. While we do not prefer cruising, and our experience with mass market cruise lines is limited, we felt that this was the most efficient way for us to visit the Galápagos Islands as one element of our itinerary to Ecuador. ...
We recently were on Rhapsody of the Seas out of Barbados. Since there have not been many reviews of the cruises out of Barbados, and especially the Island Hop itinerary where you visit 7 islands in 7 days, I wanted to post this review. I am not an expert review poster, so this might be a little all over the place.
This is mostly going to be about our experience on each island, including what ...
We were on the 32 day "Andes and Cape Horn Grand Adventure" cruise around S. America. It was a very enjoyable cruise with a relaxed pace. Many of the port stops are at commercial ports/cities with not a lot to see; you have to travel to see the main cities/sites. Unfortunately, this was not communicated and understood.
The ship is due to go in to drydock for maintenance shortly after the cruise ...
This cruise was a few years coming because of Covid, cancellations and non-refundable payments. However, it was well worth waiting for. Food, crew, comfort, organisation, helpfulness, friendliness, arrival and departure processes were all excellent. This was an Expedition cruise which meant we had twice-daily expeditions on zodiacs to either explore or land on Antarctica. These expeditions were ...
We had only been to South America once; a trip to the Galapagos Islands ten years ago. We wanted to see more of mainland South America so we signed up for this cruise along with two other couples. We had also been on two Viking river boat cruises (both in Europe) and we wanted to try out a Viking Ocean Cruise.
Just about everything was up to the high standards we have come to expect from ...
Antarctica was a bucket list vacation for my husband and I. We loved the idea of the smaller expedition ship, sailing with only approximately 400 passengers, and the idea we would be traveling with scientists and experienced expedition guides.
The trip did not disappoint!
We definitely recommend this trip. We are Viking fans, and for all the reasons people love Viking, you will definitely ...
Last year we cruised from buenos aires to South Shettland Islands with NCL on 2023 February 12th. It was a panoramic cruise but too intersting.
We watched a lot of whales in Elephant Island, great landscapes of glaciers and Cientifics bases in Admiralty Bay, penguins in puerto madrin, ushuaia and punta arenas,and a lof of birds during the trip.
We sadly cant arrive to Falklands Island ...
My husband and I booked our first cruise with Celebrity because of the nice round-trip itinerary from Buenos Aires, most especially the scenic cruising in Antarctica. We did a South American cruise on Princess ten years ago in 2013, without Antarctica, when we also missed the Falkland Islands. We both have Elite status with Princess so that is our primary frame of reference, although our very ...
