Expedition Cruises Reviews

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

We loved the Resolution! We chose the ship because it seemed like the best option for really seeing Antarctica, while still having a bit of comfort. The Resolution surpassed expectations on all counts. The ship itself is small and tough enough to get you to places other ships can’t. But still large enough to have amenities like a spa, 2 hot tubs, a science hub, a library and spacious common ...

Woudl you like to go where only a handful of people can go? Her eis an itinerary thatis truly unique. The Nat Geo Lindblad Orion is sailing the Subantarctic region, combined with the visiting coastal New Zealand. The Subantarctic Islands are the least talked about regions in the world, yet hold a Unesco site and breeding colonies of the rarest Penguins in the world. The experience is ...

My wife and I are seasoned travelers who have taken numerous cruises with several different cruise lines. This Viking Cruise was the absolute best of all. We took our son and daughter/in-law with us on this expedition cruise to Antartica as a Christmas trip because visiting that continent has been my lifelong dream. This cruise certainly did not disappoint us. From our arrival in Buenos Aires ...
