Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Polaris

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We scheduled this cruise on the spur of the moment when we received a flash sale email. It was our first Viking cruise and it couldn't have gone better. The fact that the Polaris was only 1/3 full gave the ship a kind of surreal atmosphere (we wonder what it would be like with a full compliment of guests). Reservations at the specialty restaurants were easy to get, excursions were easily ...

We would not normally book Viking due to cost. We did book this cruise due to timing and a very deep sale in effect. However, after this experience, we are convinced that Viking is virtually an all inclusive experience...rather than nickel and diming you at every junction. Although our jr suite included unlimited laundry, every deck had a free launderette with 5 washers and 5 dryers for guest ...

Embarkation
We cruised from Valparaiso, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina on Feb 24-Mar 10 2023 on the Oosterdam (I renamed it the Disasterdam!). On the cruise there was an interesting talk to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Holland America Line on HAL’s history. One segment was about the line transporting immigrants from Europe to the US in the late 1800’s-early 1900’s. They decided to ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s
We chose this cruise as it was offered to us at a discounted price due to our mariner status & casino offers. The fruit was old, meat chewy, food cold many times and many areas of the ship needs repair. We had multiple issues with our cabin and never got them resolved. We were very dissatisfied and unsure we will return to Holland cruise line even though we have 4 star mariner status. The line has ...

We chose this cruise, and ship, because we wanted to visit South America and the itinerary was just what we wanted. Never having sailed with HAL before, we were encouraged by remarks that they are 'just like Cunard', our favourite line. Sadly this proved to be, most definitely, not the case.
The embarkation, at Valparaiso, was the most shambolic we have ever encountered in 20+ cruises. There ...

We chose this cruise and cruise line based on recommendations from our friends who had been on this cruise.
- The Jupiter's crew and staff were polite, professional and personable.
- The cleanliness of our cabin was above expectation.
- The food in all the restaurants was delicious.
- The actual port stops and seeing the Chilean Fjords early in the morning was ...

Review for a South America Cruise on Viking Jupiter

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
We are not cruisers. We took this cruise because the itinerary was one that we could not easily recreate by land. We really wanted to see Cape Horn, Amalia Glacier and the Falkland Islands. This cruise was perfect for that. It didn't disappoint as we saw all of these sights, and more. We were impressed with Viking's thoroughness and attention to detail as they met us in Santiago and took care ...

Review for a South America Cruise on Celebrity Infinity

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
We chose Celebrity thinking we would get a better experience and more refined than we have on RYC (which have been great on the 3 cruses we have taken with them).
I was quite disappointed to be honest, the ship was tired with worn out carpet, rust visible on the outside of the ship and generally not the experience we were sold. Most of the staff were great and tried to make up for the tired ...

We had always wanted to do a Cape Horn cruise as it is one of the classic voyages. We were 2 couples. Coming out of Covid, the incentives were fantastic with free drinks, tips and (slow) wifi.
Embarkation from Valparaiso was a gong show as I believe ours was the first ship departing for Celebrity from that port in about 3 years. Lots of grumbling in the very long line and many of the staff ...

This was our second cruise with Viking this year, and our fourth cruise in total with this excellent cruise company.
As mentioned by others, it is really a joy to spend time aboard Viking ships. The beautiful Scandinavian design contributes to a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. It is never crowded, and there are many places around the ship to rest, read or meet with new or old friends. ...
