Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) Expedition Cruises Cruise Reviews

We were on from Ushuaia to Milwaukee, 9 March to 7 May 2022. There were several shortfalls in the usual high-level of service and excursions that Viking is known for. We have been provided with Future Cruise Credits and are very appreciative, but I wanted to take the time to provide specific feedback for your consideration. Kayhan , Restaurant Manager, is a true gem!!! Any shortfalls ...

This was my wife bucket list trip and what a trip it was. First and foremost the Expedition Team, getting us on the zodiacs and off, made sure everyone and I mean everyone was safe. On land, areas mark for safety, asking the many questions we had. Being around them, the enjoyment they were having, it rubbed off. The ship, the staff, and the food, you cannot beat it. The ONE POINT that needs ...

We previously went on a Viking river cruise to Europe (Rhine) and had a wonderful time. We then saw that Viking was offering Expedition cruises to Antarctica and thought what better way to visit a part of the world that we always wanted to see. We got an email from Viking in January 2022 offering good deals on the Antarctica Sojourn cruise to New York and decided to go for it. The cruise was ...

We had TWO very smooth crossings of the Drake Passage. The scenery is impossible to describe -- you have to see it yourself. We had two Special Operations Boats that you boarded within the ship for additional excursions. The lectures were very professional and informative, The Aula is a magnificent lecture hall. All the naturalist were very friendly and willing to share their expertise. There are ...

My wife and I are repeat Viking Cruisers due to their consistent customer service and excellent value. When we heard that they were building expedition ships, we made a reservation as soon as it was offered. We could not have been more pleased! The experience was one of the best in our lives. From the cabin to the outstanding food/cuisine, and wine and beverage selections we could not be happier. ...

Antarctica was my husband's choice for his 75th birthday present, so we took advantage of the opportunity to take one of the initial sailings to the bottom of the world on our "top of the cruising world" cruise line, Viking. The experience was truly remarkable--seeing a world in which the color palette was restricted to shades of white, blue, greys, and black yet provided for natural beauty on a ...

I have been interested in traveling to Antarctica for some time. When we heard about the Viking expedition ships we compared some of the other cruise lines and chose Viking because of our previous experience with Viking Longships and Ocean ships. We were not disappointed. My wife was initially reluctant due to expectations of extreme weather and agreed to the trip mostly because of the add on ...

We chose this cruise just for the experience of seeing Antarctica. Our expectations were greatly exceeded! Everything was first class…the crew, the food, the service, the lectures and activities. We’ve since booked two more Viking cruises! While the initial cost may be more expensive, when you consider that a lot of the other cruise line extras are included, it’s worth the price. Wouldn’t ...

We decided to take this trip hoping to catch a glimpse of what is considered as the End Of The World and/or the 7th Continet-Antartica. No doubt that Viking goes out of its way to make it an unforgettable experience. Absolutely no complaints when it comes to the traveling to and from, accommodations, food, lectures, documentation…in a few words: every single detail is taken care of. This trip was ...

Our cruise was amazing. I call it a trip to an alien ice planet, as the landscape was unlike anywhere else I’ve been with strange and abundant animals. I think this was the third cruise of the Octantis. For the most part things went very smoothly. We were out on the zodiacs many times with a variety of landing sites. We hit my bucket list of going below the Antarctica circle. We saw a lot of ...
