As expected …service and food were wonderful. The cruise was a unique one. The Amazon River is enormous and you can not appreciate it without seeing it. I would recommend starting from Manaus, Brazil and finishing in San Juan, Puerto Rico if you take this voyage. Seeing the river and culture and then moving to the fun and relaxation of the islands made for a splendid expedition. From bird ...
We went on a river cruise with Viking and the opportunity and time became available to try an ocean cruise.The river cruise would actually my first choice from now on, but the Viking ocean cruise was by far the best ocean one I have ever been on. A 5 for sure, the river cruise was a 5+.The food was always fresh and tasty with care alway on neatness and cleanliness while being presented in such a ...
We wanted a unique trip to somewhere that would be difficult to arrange personally. The Amazon satisfied this requirement. The small ship also was important, since we are not fond of thousands of passengers for travel companions. The staff made our party of eight comfortable in all dining areas. We particularly enjoyed the different relaxing venues and exercise and locker room areas. We arranged ...
What a delightful cruise.
Excellent crew/staff on the cruise ship, wonderful excursions. The ship was small and ready for a refurb, but it made good use of the space. I highly recommend Alligators by Night and Rubber Planation and Indigenous Village in Manaus, as well as Piranha Fishing in Santarem. Trinidad was a great port, the friendliest one we visited in Caribean.

Everything about this cruise was very very good . That’s not to say I liked everything or wouldn’t have preferred little things a bit different but on the whole a superb experience . Staff , food , service , comfort , surroundings were all extremely good .
There will always be those who pick holes and those people will always find a hole to pick . But to complain about not having a pizza ...
The Ship did not disappoint. The room was great, our room steward was accommodating and did a great job. The Spa service was a great benefit. Our excursions were interesting, and the on-board lectures and entertainment was top notch. We had a lot of dining choices for a small ship. The cocktail service was great. We were always greeted when we exited and entered the ship. If we had a request ...
The cruise staff was awesome. The ship was very nice and easy to navigate. This is our first Viking Ocean and really enjoyed it. The stops were hit and miss a little but thats not Viking's fault - we signed up to see the Amazon River. I think the Spa also stood out as a great experience and enjoyed the hot to cold. The room stewards were amazing as they stocked our bar, catered to any request and ...
We decided to take the Aria Amazon after doing the Aqua Mekong cruise on the a Mekong River in Asia. It was an excellent choice and did not disappoint! Aqua Expeditions is consistently nothing short of superb. The service is absolutely top notch — from ensuring that all pax’s personal preferences are met (whether food or other), modern design, attention to detail in providing as many comforts ...
My wife and I just finished a 25 day cruise to the Amazon River in Brazil on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner. We are in our mid 60s and have cruised over 30 times mostly on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. This was our first “luxury cruise”. The itinerary was round trip Miami with many stops in the Caribbean and 3 days up the Amazon River to Manaus, Brazil. Everything was included in the fare – ...
We had been on Regent Seven Seas Navigator before and had a great cruise. Everything was perfect, so when this cruise came up from Miami to Miami on Mariner into the Amazon, we booked the trip and looked so much forward to go. But already the first evening there was problems to go into the restaurant. They didn't have enough seat for people and we had to wait, for quite some time. It happened more ...
