4 Nov '27Cruise overview
An exhilarating South American adventure beckons. Starting in Brazil’s party city, we sail away to Ilhabela, a beautiful island off the coast known for its beaches and waterfalls. We continue to Balneário Camboriú, a lively Brazilian summer resort backdropped by verdant hills and hiking trails. After a blissful day at sea, we call at Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital, where two days give you time to explore the bustling markets, beautiful beaches, and Art Deco architecture. Visit the Ciudad Vieja, stroll along the Rambla, and learn about the history of soccer at the Museo de Fútbol. Our next stop is Buenos Aires, where you can enjoy taste of vibrant Argentine culture and flair – and perfect your tango. From here, we arrive at Punta del Este, known as the St. Tropez of Uruguay for its upscale resorts and casinos. After a day at sea, visit Argentina’s Puerto Madryn, home to whales, penguins, and elephant seals. The next stop, sandwiched between two sea days, is the captivating Falkland Islands. We then sail to the End of the World in Ushuaia, Argentina, located at the southernmost tip of South America. Remote Punta Arenas beckons us to stay for two nights at the gateway to Antarctica and some of Patagonia’s most thrilling sights. Two days cruising the spectacular Chilean Fjords follow, before we arrive at the otherworldly landscapes of Laguna San Rafael National Park. Our next stops are Puerto Chacabuco, jumping-off point for the Aysén fjords; Castro, remarkable for its multi-colored stilt houses; and Puerto Montt, capital of Chile’s Los Lagos region. A day at sea offers time to refuel before reaching Valparaíso for two vibrant nights in the Chilean port city known for its UNESCO-listed center, multicultural vibe, and street art.
Itinerary
Rio de Janeiro
Welcome to the Cidade Maravilhosa, or the Marvelous City, as Rio is known in Brazil. Synonymous with the girl from Ipanema, the dramatic views from Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado mountain, and fabulously flamboyant Carnival celebrations, Rio is a city of stunning architecture, abundant museums, and marvelous food. Rio is also home to 23 beaches, an almost continuous 73-km (45-mile) ribbon of sand.As you leave the airport and head to Rio’s beautiful Zona Sul (the touristic South Zone), you’ll drive for about 40 minutes on a highway from where you’ll begin to get a sense of the dramatic contrast between beautiful landscape and devastating poverty. In this teeming metropolis of 12 million people (6.2 million of whom live in Rio proper), the very rich and the very poor live in uneasy proximity. You’ll drive past seemingly endless cinder-block favela, but by the time you reach Copacabana’s breezy, sunny Avenida Atlântica—flanked on one side by white beach and azure sea and on the other by condominiums and hotels—your heart will leap with expectation as you begin to recognize the postcard-famous sights. Now you’re truly in Rio, where cariocas (Rio residents) and tourists live life to its fullest.Enthusiasm is contagious in Rio. Prepare to have your senses engaged and your inhibitions untied. Rio seduces with a host of images: the joyous bustle of vendors at Sunday’s Feira Hippie (Hippie Fair); the tipsy babble at sidewalk cafés as patrons sip their last glass of icy beer under the stars; the blanket of lights beneath the Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain); the bikers, joggers, strollers, and power walkers who parade along the beach each morning. Borrow the carioca spirit for your stay; you may find yourself reluctant to give it back.
