This was a bucket list cruise and my seventh continent, so the expectations were high. Seabourn did not disappoint. From the pre cruise hotel in Buenos Aires to the final charter flight to drop us back to Buenos Aires, the Seabourn experience was top notch. We did our own flights but got an extra pre cruise hotel night and transport with Seabourn at the Alvear Palace . EZE airport is further out of the center of BA than the domestic airport so the drive in took a bit of time . The hotel is gorgeous and in an area with nice shopping and walking distance to the Evita Cemetery. We did the Tango excursion with them which was amazing. The charter flights were on an older airbus the seats were average at best but no one in the middle seats. you get 50# of luggage per bag and we each get two bags to check in. plus your carry on. The ship is gorgeous and only a few years old. Ushuaia is a quaint little town we just did some walking and shopping prior to the ship leaving. Our suite was a penthouse upgrade last minute accessible. It was huge but no tub and the shower would run off into the main area of the bathroom so we had some towel barricades set up to prevent that. Also the two rooms had no door or curtain separation which was unusual. Storage was a closet not a walk in area as other suites had. It was adequate for two adults. The Drake passage was not as bad as expected but we had some Zofran with us . My husband was nauseated for the first day but survived! The food in the Restaurant was very good considering we were in Antarctica and no ports for them to restock. Drinks were top shelf. The expedition team was top notch with great lectures and planning for the excursions to the landings and zodiac tours. The Room attendants were top notch Ninja like in knowing when we went out to do the room! Great Ferragamo and Milton Brown products why choose when you can have both! The ship was decorated for Christmas and the special Seabourn Caviar and champagne touches were top notch! Great mix of people on this holiday cruise . I would not hesitate in recommending this cruise to anyone who has it on their bucket list!
Amazing cruise! A MUST SEE EXPERIENCE. We enjoyed everything about this trip. The ship is built for exploration. Because it’s an expedition, they are able to change the itinerary to ensure we have the best experience while still experiencing the beauty and wildlife. The itinerary was special because we spent 5 days in the South Georgia Islands. We were very fortunate to have mostly great weather because of this ability to change locations based on the weather reports. The beauty of Antarctica, Falkland Islands, South Georgia Islands was incredible. The wildlife was equally amazing. The staff was great. They really try to meet your every need. The expedition team was as good as we have seen. They were so informative and welcoming. They had classes / talks every day about what you experienced that day or what you were going to see. Just an amazing amount of information and subjects available to you. If you haven’t been there, go! We have been on a few Seabourn trips and they have all been great. First class all the way.
If you are looking to take and expedition cruise to Antartica, don't hesitate to choose the Venture. To begin with, this is an expedition cruise, which means activity - landings, zodiac tours, lectures & presentations almost non-stop. Also, plan to be flexible - the planned stop or activity will change depending on the unpredictable weather. Don't fret about getting across the Drake, for the most part we had some roll, less going, more coming back across - but nothing horrible. Lastly plan to see wildlife, penguins, whales, and a variety of seals + many different birds. Getting to the end of the world: We flew overnight to Buenos Aires, Seabourn reps were there waiting on us after luggage pick up. Transportation via bus to the hotel where we had early check in. Seabourn then informed us about the next day's flight to Ushuaia (there are two flights, and early and a later). Spent the afternoon / evening visiting the neighborhood around the hotel. Next morning flight to Ushuaia on SmartJet, the most uncomfortable part of the trip, no recline and not very comfortable seating for a 3.5 hour flight. Landed, took a quick tour and then to the boat where we were able to board. Embarkation was verry efficient. Cabin: Regular Verandah suite - plenty of space, good layout. With the shower were a little larger, but overall we were satisfied. Let the adventure begin: This is the trip of a lifetime, pictures nor videos will do it justice. Normally we had a landing and a zodiac tour each day. One in the AM, one in the afternoon. We did have one day where we only had one activity because we were on the move due to weather. Every stop or tour was great. The Expedition team on this cruise were exceptional, all of them! They were a wealth of knowledge and provided insight beyond anything I would have imagined. Every day you wake up in awe of the surroundings and views, from gigantic ice bergs to the mountains of the continent itself. Did I mention wildlife? We saw 4 species of penguins (we were fortunate to see two juvenile emperor penguins), and more humpback than we could count, plus a couple of pods of Orcas (we were told this is rare). One note - when you see a penguin colony, be prepared for the smell - it will stay with you. Food: The colony is the typical buffet with a daily changing menu based on themes of countries. We had breakfast and lunch here most days and the food was good, no real complaints. Dinner, we did the restaurant each night and the menu was varied and very good overall. Seabourn square was great to grab coffee and a quick bite. Keep in mind this is boat has to provision for almost two weeks with no stop reprovision anywhere. With that said, the food may have been a little below that of a normal Seabourn cruise, but it was still very good. The crew: Loved these folks, they were eager to serve always had a smile. No complaints or issues here. With a small boat it is not long before they recognize you and know what you want. Across the board, wait staff, bar tenders, room team were all excellent. Another shout out to the expedition team, they were the absolute best! Overall: This is not an inexpensive adventure, but it was worth every dime. We are looking to join the Venture in the Artic in the future.
