South America Cruises

Discover a world of beautiful contrasts, from the dramatic Chilean Fjords to lush Amazon rainforests, from the vibrant cities of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro to impressive Spanish colonial buildings and the atmospheric ruins of ancient empires.

The southern summer sees cruises around South America, with a popular route between Santiago on the west coast and Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro on the east coast. These cruises traverse Cape Horn, and may visit the scenic Chilean fjords or the Falkland Islands.

To reach South America ships may sail down the east coast from the Caribbean, maybe visiting the Amazon river, or via the Panama Canal down the west coast with excursions to sights such as Macchu Picchu. Off the northern coast are the Galapagos Islands and their amazing wildlife, visited all year by suitable smaller ships.
