Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) to Antarctica Cruise Reviews

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 ...

Everything about this cruise was better than anticipated (except for one thing). SHIP The ship was beautiful. It was simultaneously elegant and comfortable. I loved the public spaces to relax and enjoy the view, a good book, or a delicious cappuccino. This was a smooth sailing ship Even through the large swells of the Drake Passage, the ship gave a smooth quiet ride. We felt the ...

Absolutely amazing experience! It far surpassed our expectations. We chose this cruising option for the small ship adventure-spirit experience and we were not disappointed in any way. The ship staff was amazing - very attentive. The expedition crew was awesome - always made our outings fun, exciting, safe, and informative. Our cabin was very comfortable and perfect for the two of us. 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. ...

My wife and I cruised on the Diana to Antartica over New Years. The pre cruise customer service was terrible. Trying to get basic information was a real challenge. Once on the ship, customer service as excellent. The staff was very attentive.The cabin was very spacious. The food offerings were adequate. The odds of getting Covid is high, as we did. We elected to declare our covid condition ...

My Mum and I choose this cruise to celebrate her 60th Birthday. We choose Hurtigruten because of their long experience in polar sailing and because of their science program. Antarctica itself was a magical experience but we left regretting our choice of cruise line. Hurtigruten markets itself as luxury for a reasonable price, but make no mistake- they are a budget cruise line with a budget product ...

I was with the National Geographic Explorer to Antarctica, and to give you just an idea of the satisfaction I felt after the expedition, I spent 4 more days in Buenos Aires before going back home, and in that short time, I talked to non less than 15 people about the trip, including another fellow passenger in the flight home. My finals words were always: "If you travel to Antarctica, it must be ...

Always been interested in the Antarctic. We weren’t disappointed. Seeing it for the first time simultaneously elicits awe and dread. The Antarctic is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. But seeing all that ice caused me to admire the first explorers. I would have turned around and run for home at first sight of the terrain. There’s also the concern about climate change. If even a ...

We compared several cruise / expedition companies that offered trips to Antarctica. We eliminated those that were too big and just drove by the continent because we wanted to step foot on the land. We looked at price, amenities, excursion types (zodiacs, boats, kayaks, subs, etc), timing with our schedules, international flight cost/inclusion and landed on Viking. We spent 2 year watching the ...

The Linblad/NatGeo Expedition format is amazing. There were 117 passengers on this cruise. We all felt like everyone on the ship was part of the Expedition and enjoyed new discoveries. The itinerary is fluid as the Expedition Leader and Ship Captain seek to deliver a unique and memorable experience. The open bridge (yes I said the bridge) is unique in my cruising experience and provided as ...
