Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) to Antarctica Cruise Reviews

We were not able to visit or land in many of the planned destinations because of the Avian Flu, which was not mentioned at all until the trip was booked and paid for. We only spent 2 days at the peninsula which is truly disappointing considering most days are spent at sea and the peninsula being the main event. The staff explained how more days at the peninsula is physically impossible due to ...

We are just back from our breathtaking trip with this amazing company and ship from Antarctica. The Maturalists and the whole Crew were kind, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed every moment. The cabins are very comfortable and well organized. Clean and you get a water bottle so nobody waste plastic. The base camp is easy to get in and off the ship for the excursions. The polar plunge ...

We recently sailed on the 2/4/24-2/15/24 Atlas World Navigator, 11 nt Antarctica expedition crossing the Antarctic Circle. We were in an A1-Horizon Stateroom with the push button drop down upper window. It was perfect for Antarctica since it let you take clear pictures without standing in the cold. The bed was very comfortable and the room was a decent size with a couch and two chairs. The ...

Going to Antarctica was a lifelong dream, and when I saw there was a South Georgia itinerary, we decided - "Let's go for it". Definitely a once in a lifetime expedition for us as we're getting older. Although we are well warned, anything can happen on an expedition cruise, and before you make a $60,000 commitment (included Patagonia extension and Viking trip insurance, + room upgrade), I ...

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 ...

Linblad/National Geographic have done what no one else could possibly come close to accomplishing! A trip of a month, that was packed with adventure, and more interesting, thought provoking education than you could imagine. Expeditions that brought us where almost no one has been, with naturalists and historians to bring the complete package. The ship is new, clean, state of the art technology ...

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 now been to 74 countries and all 7 continents, including 3 cruises at the age of 35 and I know we'll look back on this trip forever as the BEST thing we have ever done. The vacation itself included flights from the UK to Argentina where we boarded the SH Vega, bound for Antarctica. We originally said that Antarctica was a once in a life time destination but having been, we'd ...

We were the guests on Swan Hellenic's cruise this year and we have been on many other cruises too. We feel compelled to share our recent experience with Swan Hellenic Cruises (SH) and advise against recommending their services to you, particularly those hailing from the USA and Canada. Our disappointment with Swan Hellenic stems from several concerning issues that we believe potential travellers, ...
