Excellent ship and cruise to Antarctica

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Outstanding ship and crew with exceptional service and food quality. Safety was a top concern for the crew assisting on Zodiac landings with plenty of crew members ready to guide and assist each participant in getting on and off the Zodiacs safely. The staterooms were large and comfortable with large showers and floor to ceiling windows that opened by pressing a button to lower the top half of the ...

I debated between 4 and 5 stars. Pre-cruise at the Hilton. Viking support was outstanding all he way to the ship and for departure. Viking reps everywhere in the airport and even flew on the charter to/from Ushuaia. Very well organized. Polaris is a wonderful and beautiful ship. Staff and crew are exceptional. Unfortunately, weather is a major factor beyond Viking's control. Lost a ...

Our cruise only had about 300 passengers. The entire crew was fantastic! The expedition crew ensured we had as many outings as possible, and our several days we had landings and zodiac cruises. We had terrific weather up until the last landing. They issue boots and you get a complimentary jacket. Hiking poles in different heights are also provided. Food was delicious in the Aune restaurant and ...

My wife and I have taken 59 cruises. This exploration has completed our trip around the world. We have been to all seven continents. The staff and crew on the ship were excellent. The food was excellent. Our cabin was a good size with plenty of space. The window allowed us to see what was going on outside all of the time. The trips on the Zodiac and the Special Operation Boat provided us ...

We were on the Viking Polaris for the Antarctic Explorer cruise from Jan 18 - 30, 2024 Packing tips: - Viking provides trekking poles at every landing (2/person) so don’t pack them despite what the website says. - Viking provides 2 sets of good binoculars on floatation straps in your room so unless you are picky don’t bring your own.

I had high expectations and they were exceeded. The scenery was stunning. The outings were well executed. The staterooms and public spaces were beautiful and comfortable. And the food was outstanding. I was especially delighted with the number and quality of vegetable choices. Many meat choices as well. I was able to eat healthy delicious food, as good as I cook at home. We had one or ...

Cruising along the Antarctic Peninsula was amazing! The ever-changing scenery was the constant throughout the entire cruise. Every day we saw icebergs of every shape and size imaginable. Snow covered mountains and glaciers were everywhere. We saw countless humpback whales – whales that were logging, diving, feeding alongside their young, and even breaching! The water is so clear that as ...

What a simply AMAZING adventure aboard a simply AMAZING ship with a simply AMAZING staff. From start to finish, our expectations were exceeded through the efforts of the staff, the amenities onboard and from the incredible landscape of Antartica. Learning more about glaciers, wildlife and weather from such a knowledgeable science team was the icing on the cake. And, when can you see 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. ...

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 ...
