Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) Expedition Cruises Reviews

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 ...

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 taken 59 cruises. This exploration has completed our trip around the world. We have been to all seven continents. The staff and crew on the ship were excellent. The food was excellent. Our cabin was a good size with plenty of space. The window allowed us to see what was going on outside all of the time. The trips on the Zodiac and the Special Operation Boat provided us ...

We were on the Viking Polaris for the Antarctic Explorer cruise from Jan 18 - 30, 2024 Packing tips: - Viking provides trekking poles at every landing (2/person) so don’t pack them despite what the website says. - Viking provides 2 sets of good binoculars on floatation straps in your room so unless you are picky don’t bring your own. Optika HD Meopta 8x42 7.5 - Bring at least one, ...

This was my 8th trip with Lindblad Expediitions and it did not dissapoint. Communicaiton from beginning to end was flawless. The transfers from the airport to hotels and ship were seamless. The beauty of Antarctia was amazing, however it was the staff and naturalists who made the trip exceptional. Captain Heidi and Expedition Leader Andy planned very effectively around any weather concerns, ...

I had high expectations and they were exceeded. The scenery was stunning. The outings were well executed. The staterooms and public spaces were beautiful and comfortable. And the food was outstanding. I was especially delighted with the number and quality of vegetable choices. Many meat choices as well. I was able to eat healthy delicious food, as good as I cook at home. We had one or ...
