Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) to Antarctica Cruise Reviews

Fantastic experience. Amazing places, with hundreds of thousands of penguins and seals in South Georgia Island (a must) and Antarctica, with hundreds of whales along the away, among others. Top notch crew with non-stop options for science and history explorations. Wonderful people who love what they do. Very good food with tons of choices. Very nice boat with great first class cabins.

We chose Viking on the recommendation of two friends, one of whom is scheduled to sail next November. This was a treat like no other. First of all, the ship is brand new which means that the furniture and libraries are all untouched. All the zodiacs and Special Operations Boats were pristine. It also meant that we were onboard with lots of dignitaries including a film crew and Liv Arnesen, the ...

Always had Antarctica on our bucket list, so when Viking launched it's new expedition ships, were hooked. We like Viking because of their subdued approach: no kids, no casino, no loud music. A beige color scheme with nautical themes abound. Rather, interesting talks and in depth learning are provided. We were upgraded to a larger room which provided additional storage space on deck 4. The dining ...

We’ve taken 10 cruises, the last five with Viking. We have only taken Viking in the last several years due to their overall excellence. We just returned from the Antarctic Explorer Cruise and this was not what we have come to expect from Viking. Our initial itinerary was change from when we boarded the ship. The six days in Antarctica called for zodiac landings; however, our destinations changed, ...

We chose this cruise because my husband got a nice discount being a United Airlines employee. We had never been on a cruise before. It’s pretty much the only way to experience Antarctica so we pulled the trigger - Antarctica was on our bucket list. Great expeditions, attentive staff and fabulous food. We were pleasantly surprised with how nice everything was. We had always thought cruises ...

I selected Quark and the Ultramarine for a group trip to Antarctica based on their strong polar operations history, the comfort and amenities of the new ship, the excursion opportunities, and the expedition's itinerary. And, while I don't have personal experience traveling to Antarctica with another company to compare against - I felt that Quark delivered on all of these key areas. Here's ...

I was told that Quark was the best and they didn’t disappoint The crew were amazing with their knowledge and commitment not just to giving us the best experience but to Antarctica itself The crew worked hard to get us out on zodiacs and onto land And to teach us about Antarctica , the history and wildlife They were friendly, caring and supportive I travelled with so many like ...

I booked my Antarctica trip with Quark Expeditions before the pandemic hit. It was then cancelled twice but Quark was great with working with me to get rebooked each time. I finally made it to Antarctica on their newer ship, Ultramarine. It was an amazing experience. The ship itself is wonderful. The rooms are spacious, the food was amazing and it has the added benefit of having helicopters ...

This was not just a cruise. It was an experience, and it met or exceeded our expectations. We have taken cruises before and always enjoyed them. Although we enjoyed this cruise too, it was more about seeing and exploring the wonders of the White Continent. The word "expedition" feels accurate. It was more adventurous than other cruises, and in that respect, it certainly met our ...

We have recently returned from a trip of a lifetime. We went with family, eight of us from 10 years old to 71. We had a great time. Wellesley College in Massachusetts, USA enticed us to travel with a group on this trip. The ship and all of the crew were fabulous . The food could not have been better with a varied menu every night (as well as some constant things on the menu). The service in the ...
