Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Viking Octantis

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We have taken approximately 50 ocean voyages on several different cruise lines, trying each of those lines multiple times in our attempt to develop rounded and fair assessments. We're in our 70s, so some cruise lines - while perfect for families or the younger partying set - don't appeal to us. We have developed a short list of our favorites and longer list of our "never agains". Prior to this ...

We always were interest in a trip to Antarctica. This one fit our schedule and the price was good when the sale opened up. We really lucked out having good weather for our expeditions and the drake passage was smooth both going down and coming back. It was nice to having all the expeditions so well planned and organized. The science discussions and work on the ship was a very nice touch and ...

We had been told it was for adults only and that you didnt have to Dress for dinner! Also it was an expedition boat so that we could go onto the land and I also wanted to kayak so I thought we would get some exercise. I also enjoyed the spa and the staff there were spectacular however I only discovered the hairdresser on the last day! I looked at the cabin and it seemed spacious as did the ...

Exciting exotic location way, way, way, way off the beaten path. The opportunity to explore and learn, while staging from an amazingly comfortable and luxurious base with exceptional tour guides was unbeatable. Each and every member of the crew was personable and accommodating. The expedition leaders were extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about their work.
Simply having the ...

This was the best cruise I have ever been on, it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. The ships was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The staff was wonderful and very helpful and the food was great. The expedition crew was friendly, knowledgeable and made the experiences ashore most interesting and exciting. I would recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking for an unusual ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
First of all, the destination itself is an incredible adventure, with wildlife seen every day and breathtaking scenery. While we have been on many cruises, this was our first on Viking, and will not be our last. Food and service were excellent - as was the ship itself.
Note that an Antarctica cruise is way different from the typical, as there are no "ports", no cities to visit. Every ...

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
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 ...

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 ...
