Viking Ocean Buenos Aires Cruise Reviews

My wife and I have long been interested in seeing South America, particularly the chance to interact with all the wildlife. We chose the Viking Jupiter after a good experience with a previous Rhine River cruise, a preference for smaller ships and the unique itinerary. The Jupiter is a wonderful ship with a great crew, interesting enrichment programs and a relaxing friendly atmosphere. There was a ...

This was my first cruise and it was more than I ever expected. Viking knows how to make you feel welcome and they now how to treat their guests! From the cabin boys to the head chef, everyone I came in contact with were genuinely kind and cared about how you were doing and if everything was to your satisfaction. My room was always in tip top shape...very comfortable and quiet. The food was ...

Overall a very wonderful experience! The only downside was the air travel component getting to Buenos Aires (over 10-hour flight), and the return especially, booked via Viking, which had a transfer in Sao Paolo from Santiago, another transfer from Atlanta, back up to Seattle (a 24-hour torture session). International air travel has become a nightmare. I believe they purposely make it the most ...

Viking does cruises like no other. From the moment we received our documents we knew we were in good hands. We have over 25 cruises and Viking is by far the leader in the field. Our ship The Viking Jupiter is well designed and staffed with a truly professional team. The Jupiter is stylish in every way and well designed with elegance and comfort in mind. We stayed in stateroom 50** and it was ...

Extra time sailing plus Viking's great line-up of shore excursions was a perfect combination for us. Sailing days allowed us to fully explore the onboard amenities of Viking Jupiter, where staff, enrichment lectures, dining and entertainment were outstanding and varied. Port days included a wide range of excursions with knowledgeable guides who provided eye-opening insights into local ...

This was our 3rd Viking Ocean Cruise and it was fantastic. We found the food in all eateries to be excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the theatre shows were really good and the historians/lectures were most enjoyable. We were lucky with a very smooth crossing and excellent daily updates from the captain at noon regarding sea depth, speed, conditions etc. Our DV2 cabin was ...

This cruise combined a great look into South America’s cultures and surroundings with the amazing Viking Cruise experience. The people and places were definitely worth the trip, and the wildlife experience was outstanding. We took several of the off-ship excursions, and they were all interesting and informative/educational. In addition, we had the chance to actually circle the Horn off South ...

I value looking at these critical reviews to help me with excursion choices etc. , so I will try to be complete. We began with the Viking optional excursion to Rio and Iguassu Falls. Some who did not take this optional pre-excursion called it pricey. Believe me, every one who went on said it was the highlight of the trip (and there were many highlights). I am so glad we did this as it was a ...

It accomplished one of my entries in the travel and fun bucket list. Originally planned as a land excursion, covid and the following pandemia, as well as other considerations made it not advisable. The alternative, a cruise with shore excursions, plus the pre and post cruise excursions, looked preferable. I choose Viking line for the promised all included cruise. In short, Viking ...

We were looking for something new and boy did we find it. The wildlife in South America was far beyond expectations. To see Penguins in their natural environment was fantastic, but to be there when the King Penguins were sitting on their eggs and the Gentoo babies were running around was simple amazing. We also saw Magellan Penguins, sea lions and a lot of birds. The ports were nice as well. We ...
