Western Mediterranean: Italy, France & Gibraltar from Rome, 26 July 2026 (7 nights)

My hip needs replaced and we debated about cancelling our cruise, we are both glad we didn’t . We hired a wheelchair on board with our on board spend and I was able to get off at the ports. I was helped on to tender boats pushed up and down gangways helped by locals when we got stuck, we met so many lovely people. In the Falklands I nearly got blown over but was rescued by the jeep driver who took me to the tearoom. Our steward gave us a wedge to keep the cabin door open but was usually there to help stow the chair away for the night. Every morning when we went to the Lido for breakfast I got a good morning Moira as they moved chairs to accommodate my wheelchair. We did not do our usual 5ks round the deck in the morning but were able to enjoy our trip thank you all.

Amazing 22day Chile/Antarctica/Falklands/Uruquay/Argentina experience on the Oosterdam. Antarctica was simply breathtaking and the Ship's Master did everything possible to maximise every aspect of the 4 days amongst the ice. Ship's crew were exceptional in every sense and the vessel itself perfect. Slightly older ship, not overly glitzy, just perfect. Our first cruise with Holland America, we are now completely converted and looking towards the next one with them, already seriously considering repeating the Antarctica cruise !

Professional, friendly crew; Lots to do on board , Great Antarctic cruise with a good mixture of shore visits and sea days.

Excellent cruise that exceeded our expectations. The weather was amazing. Interesting ports of call. Started with 3 nights in Buenos Aires and ended with 2 nights in Santiago.
