Incredible Cruise to Antarctica and South America by StevenSue

Ship: Seabourn Quest / Destination: South America

A memorable and amazing journey to the bottom of the world, unlike any place we've been. A cruise we'd highly recommend to everyone.

Awesome Cruise by FredandPaula

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Eclipse / Destination: South America

This cruise was beyond awesome. All of the ports were charming, but the cruising in Antarctica was definitely the best part of the cruise. We had seen many pictures of Antarctica, but it is impossible to capture the scenery experience we had in a picture. It is 200% better in person!

A true adventure by ilzeepners

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Sun / Destination: South America

This was our 50th wedding anniversary cruise and the rating does not show how much we enjoyed our cruise. The penguins were a fantastic addition. The crew remembered our anniversary and sent a cake. We will cruise with NCL again

So glad to be home... by beckybenayas

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Volendam / Destination: South America

Will not take another cruise on this ship as we feel it is very outdated. Have cruised several years on Holland America but sadly disappointed with the way this cruise turned out. Always do a private balcony but feel like our money spent was not deserving of what our experience was.

The trip met our objectives for an enjoyable 30 days in warm weather. Many of the visited ports are industrial ports Holland America tried to rectify this situation through the use of shuttle buses by redmen66

Ship: Volendam / Destination: South America

Good food, good entertainment, unique items to purchase at very reasonable prices, friendly people, warm weather. Much better than a trip to Florida to be in warm weather

Fascinating places to see by phill002

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Sun / Destination: South America

The overall cruise experience was very good. We enjoyed our stateroom, the dining facilities, and the attention of the excellent crew and staff. The fitness and spa facilities were first-rate. The entertainment options were varied in quality and mostly too loud for our taste. The only group we really enjoyed was the classical Atlantis string trio, and we attended at least a dozen of their performances. The Flamenco and Tango performances were also very good.

Antarctica and South America are a must see, but not on Holland America by Battman204

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zaandam / Destination: South America

I've said it. Great itinerary. Old, boring ship with very little interesting to do on board. But if you are 80 or above, it is probably your speed

A Once in a Lifetime Adventure by dbrim36

Ship: Celebrity Eclipse / Destination: South America

We were told over and over how fortunate we were to have such great weather. We were guaranteed by the naturalist and captain odds of that happening again were not that great.

Spectacular holiday cruise by Amarty

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Zaandam / Destination: South America

It was truly a pleasure and unforgettable cruise! We hated to leave and would love/hope to do the Antarctic experience again. Only thing I do not recommend purchasing is the internet because it is expensive but substandard, literally gave me a headache due to very slow speed...not worth your time. I should've listened to previous reviews but was hoping it was different this time. We still absolutely loved and enjoyed our cruise and highly recommend it!

Great Entertainment is the Best Feature by tonyzal232

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Star Princess / Destination: South America

Very impressed by the high quality entertainer and show quality. Relatively poor food. But we can eat at great restaurants on land, so not a problem. Very comfortable bed, but poor AC ruined many nights for us.

South American Cruise by howardapage

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Azamara Pursuit / Destination: South America

We enjoyed our cruise around South America. South America was not high on our list of places to visit, but we learned a lot and saw a lot. I don’t know if I would return or not, but some places, such as Monttvideo, Punta Del Este and Buenos Aires would be worth visiting again. I would not return to Lima Peru. There is a nice shopping center along the coast and the Fountains Park are great. That’s about it though. While visiting South America, which is a long way from our home, we found it was worth extra time to visit Iguazu Falls, especially since it is quite close.

Our Great Galapagos Adventure by thegaspars2

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Xploration / Destination: Galapagos

This was a great adventure and we loved every minute. There is a 2 meter distance you are required to maintain between you and the wildlife, however no one explained this to the animals so be prepared for some amazing up close encounters. This ship is a great choice for teens through active seniors without mobility issues. Although it was not a problem for us, if you're prone to motions sickness come prepared.
