Great Crew!

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Viking Polaris

The crew members on the ship made this trip very enjoyable. They were all very attentive, professional, and pleasant to be around. The ship itself was top notch- we didn't want to leave after the voyage! The entertainment was very nice and relaxing, this combined with the top notch bartending made the lounge area very sought after. It was the perfect environment to read, play games, relax or ...

Majestic and phenomenal food

Viking knows how to treat their guests! Every single person that worked on the ship was so nice and very helpful. And the food was fabulous in both restaurants and the World Cafe! The World Cafe should be renamed to reflect the quality of the staff and food - far superior than what you think a “cafe” is. This cruise was by far the best one we’ve ever been on. Superior to all others. We’ve already ...

Fantastic weather and loads of wildlife

About us: couple in mid 60's well travelled not always on cruise ships. We have no loyalty to any cruise line and our sole driver is destination, mainly wildlife and scenery. Since visiting a travel show around 4 years ago Antarctica was on our bucket list. Eventually chose Hurtigruten and Roald Amundsen as we thought the price was reasonable and it included the Falklands. Booked as a package ...

We booked in The commandant Charcot in 2019 , for summer of 2020 to North Pole , as soon as we had heard about its Polar Class 2 Ice breaking capabilities. However the voyage to 90’N , North Pole got cancelled twice due to COVID pandemic. Finally after experiencing an exceptional Arctic trip on L’Boreal last year in 2022, we booked with Ponant on Le Commandant Charcot for November 2023 for ...

Definitely a Bucket List Must

We have not been frequent guests of cruise lines, having only experienced one river cruise and one ocean cruise in the past. We found both disappointing. However, the opportunity to visit Antarctica and the reputation of Viking combined to result in this booking. Both Antarctica and Viking Octantis exceeded our expectations. The beauty of Antarctica is extraordinary. We thoroughly enjoyed our ...

INCREDIBLE 14-Day Patagonian Shores & Chilean Fjords cruise onboard Viking Polaris in October

My husband and I were onboard Viking Polaris in October, going from Valparaiso in Chile to Ushuaia in Argentina. We saw many beautiful fjords and glaciers; we visited fascinating cities and hiked an unscheduled trail that turned out more stunning than the original trail in Punta Arena. (The original hike was changed by the local operator due to the weather.) But the biggest surprise on this ...

Well worth the long flights!

We missed the bus pick up due to 3 late flights but a private transfer was arranged for us without any problem. As usual, greeted with a glass of bubbly upon embarkation then straight up to the World Cafe for lunch. Our cabin was on deck 3 in a good location on the port side. I loved the cabin, especially the new wardrobe configuration. There was much more space and more coat hangers than on the ...

Good But Not Great

This review is primarily for people contemplating Viking Expeditions Panama and Scenic South America cruise. This is only my opinion. We are frequent cruisers and habitual Viking Ocean customers (1 river and 7 Viking Ocean cruises). We booked this one as it was relatively inexpensive for a lot of days (18) on a new Expedition class ship. We wanted to experience it and decide if we would invest in ...

Beautiful ship but definitely for Antarctica

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Viking Octantis

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this trip from Santiago Chile through the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale because we wanted to try an Expedition ship and I don't like cold weather. Everything is geared towards the Arctic however and there really wasn't much to do on the ship. We had a nature lecturer and a historian but the talks were mostly on the Arctic. The "toys" on board are only licensed to be used in Antarctica ...

This is a fabulous cruise from Argentina through Chile, a part of the world most people have never encountered. The weather is not totally ideal and can be a bit limiting but Viking does everything in their power to make up for it and provide alternatives. The ship is beautiful and the size is perfect for making many new friends! I loved the zodiacs, Special Operations boat, and of course the ...
