The trip of a lifetime

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on National Geographic Resolution

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Our enthusiasm to go Antarctica was high — we couldn’t wait to see the ice, the penguins, whales, and other wildlife — and our hopes were more than met: the place is beautiful almost beyond words, and its fragility is a reminder to all of us to be better stewards of our planet. But the crew and staff of the NG Resolution made our trip even better than we anticipated. They took immense care with ...

Wonderful Antarctic adventure

We selected Viking based on early reviews, reputation, excursions that were offered and size of the ship (not too large or small). All the staff were great, very friendly, helpful and with a true desire to make the cruise an exceptional one. The food was excellent, whether one of the 2 restaurants or the buffet. On multiple days, there was lobster tail, varied steaks, and numerous specialties. ...

We wanted a different experience and we got it ! Vessel completely fulfilled our expectations, from the accommodation, food and safety on board to the pre and post cruise arrangements. Hurtigruten did well in organising our flights and hotel accommodation in Buenos Aires before and after the Cruise. Nothing much to say about Antartica, this is a whole new and different planet, nature ...

Everything about this cruise was better than anticipated (except for one thing). SHIP The ship was beautiful. It was simultaneously elegant and comfortable. I loved the public spaces to relax and enjoy the view, a good book, or a delicious cappuccino. This was a smooth sailing ship Even through the large swells of the Drake Passage, the ship gave a smooth quiet ride. We felt the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

Overall this cruise was great. Our cruise was at the end of December/beginning of January and most people on the cruise were traveling as members of various multi-generational families. There is little in the way of onboard activities but the expeditions and naturalist team are great! Before the trip we were picked up at the airport and taken via shuttle to the ship, during the bus journey a ...

Antarctica is a must, but Hurtigruten was a bust

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 ...

Probably my best trip so far

Always been interested in the Antarctic. We weren’t disappointed. Seeing it for the first time simultaneously elicits awe and dread. The Antarctic is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. But seeing all that ice caused me to admire the first explorers. I would have turned around and run for home at first sight of the terrain. There’s also the concern about climate change. If even a ...

Trip of a Lifetime (that I already want to do again)

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

We compared several cruise / expedition companies that offered trips to Antarctica. We eliminated those that were too big and just drove by the continent because we wanted to step foot on the land. We looked at price, amenities, excursion types (zodiacs, boats, kayaks, subs, etc), timing with our schedules, international flight cost/inclusion and landed on Viking. We spent 2 year watching the ...

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 ...

The Lindblad Nat Geo Resolution is a well designed boat with an exceptional crew and knowledgeable expedition guides. From the moment of boarding the boat to disembarkation, the service is excellent. The bar, dining area, reading room, sauna and gym have excellent viewing windows. Outdoor decks have heated seating areas. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Superb dining staff. Great food ...
