South America is such a vast and varied continent, bursting with energy and a real “bucket list” destination.

Then set sail to revel in the rich history, culture and spectacular natural beauty of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. Of course, no cruise to South America would be complete without the breathtaking experience of scenic cruising around the Chilean Fjords and Cape Horn. A 2 night stay in bustling Buenos Aires completes this trip.
