Incredible Experience

By: Julia V


Reviewed on: 24 Dec 2024

took a cruise to Antarctica -- staff was wonderful, made each of us feel as if we were their favorite passenger. The excursions were so well-planned and when something didn't work out, there was ALWAYS an alternative plan. The expedition staff was top notch, very well educated and passionate about their niche. Brandon was extremely flexible, responsive and kept any issues to a minimum

Cruise from Portugal to Italy

By: Nancy


Reviewed on: 04 Sep 2025

Excellent cruise, the restaurant and hotel staff were exceptional. The ship was well maintained; shared spaces and the cabin were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to reach ports that larger ships could not and being able to ride on the tender boats when the ship could not be docked at a port. We enjoyed our experience on the SJ Diana. The cruise line provided ground transfer at our starting destination was well organized and the hotel was excellent.
