Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Silver Endeavour

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This is a beautiful small ship that apparently is very advanced and handles the ice and rough waters flawlessly. The lowest priced suite was very nice and spacious and there is not a bad location on the ship. The bathroom felt a little small due to the separate toilet area but it was a nice feature. I was in a perfect location for the few public venues onboard. Of course the butlers and other ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Celebrity Eclipse

Wanted to see Antarctica but no longer interested in getting out on the ice or paddling around in kayaks. Traveled with a group of four couples who had previously sailed on Celebrity Summit. This class of ships are nicely designed with larger showrooms to accommodate grand productions and very nice gyms. Of course, that means the dining venues are also huge and, when full, tend to be ...

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 ...

It’s been over 10 years since I traveled with Oceania. Our overall experience was positive. The ship is in need of some renovation as it is showing signs of aging in some areas. We werein a standard veranda cabin, and was satisfactory. The beds were very comfortable and the room layout satisfactory. The shower is quite small and a larger person would have difficulties. The dining experiences ...

The obvious reason was ship included Antarctic on this trip, as well as most of S America. Great trip though, excellent staff in restaurants. Food, which used to be excellent was average at best. Repetitive menu in Main Dining Room after 12 days. Portions were minimal at best, You could actually tell that a cost reduction was in effect by selections Simple things like coffee, which used to be ...

Great experience all way around. Stateroom was on the 7th level. My room keeper was excellent. Room was prepared immediately after I left. He noticed any repairs that required fixing and had a service person take care of it at once without delay. Very friendly and helpful. All staff on board were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty with great variety over the 24 days. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Going to Antarctica is a once in a lifetime adventure. Atlas Ocean Voyages did a great job making this a trip to remember. The ship staff was friendly and helpful. The cruise director, Marla, was unbelievable. By the second day she knew very one's name. She was especially engaged with the solo passengers making sure they were staying involved. She even hosted a table with solo passengers for ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Sapphire Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

The Sapphire Princess is in very good shape for an “older” ship. Sure, there were some stains on carpets and chips on tile, but on a whole I was very impressed. We enjoyed the fact that this Princess ship still maintains a full wide wrap-around Promenade deck (with only the need to go up and down a flight at the bow.) Embarkation: the worst ever. Princess was not prepared for this, although ...

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 ...

This is the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde of luxury cruise ships! One of the worst examples of pre-cruise communication for the weeks leading up to the cruise. A Specialist (name redacted upon request from CruiseCritic) with Guest Services out of Ft Lauderdale, FL was our point person but he was MIA (not Miami but missing in action) with most replies to emails or short and curt. Almost like he didn't like ...
