Prepare to get wild. South America cruises explore a continent rich in ancient ruins, cosmopolitan cities, and all types of terrain, from the towering Andes to lush rainforests and Patagonian grasslands. Cross the Drake Passage to take in the noticeable silence and dramatic ice shelves on Antarctica cruises. Each cruise includes an overnight stay, so you will have extra time to catch a tango show in Buenos Aires or soar through the treetops of Panama’s Soberanía National Park on an aerial tram. Marvel at the engineering wonders of the Panama Canal. Discover quaint colonial towns lining the golden coasts of Peru and Ecuador. Glide the majestic Chilean fjords and the rugged Strait of Magellan. See the largest gentoo penguin colony in the world. Journey to the edge of the world with us.

Discover the Dynamic Antarctica &South America
Antarctica Experience
Escape to the ends of the earth. Literally. Rollicking penguins and massive, steel-blue icebergs draw many to Antarctica cruises, but there’s more to the White Continent. The strange silence of a truly untouched land lingers in memories forever. And then there are the whales. So many whales.
Amazon Explorer
Voyage from Caribbean islands into the Amazon rainforest. Pink dolphins, scarlet macaws, and the two-toned Meeting of Waters list a few of many amazing possibilities. Sint Maarten, St. Lucia, French Guiana are also on the itinerary and a day on our private island, Half Moon Cay caps off the journey.
Antarctica Cruise & South America Featured Cruise Ports
Ushuaia, Argentina
Dramatic, fantastical, otherworldly—this is the end of the world, for real. Positioned at the southernmost tip of Argentina, this memorable port town is cradled between the pristine—and towering—Martial Mountains and accessed by the picturesque Beagle Channel.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
A slew of attractions and architectural jewels await on Buenos Aires overnights. Explore the vibrant plazas of the Palermo neighborhood or go behind the scenes of renowned restaurants on a culinary walk.
Manaus, Brazil
If ever a city were a model for boom and bust, it would be Manaus. Like in America’s Old West, great fortunes were amassed in no time here and vanished just as quickly during the late-19th-century boom years of rubber production.
Punta Arenas, Chile
If Punta Arenas exudes an "edge of the world" air, it's not without reason. This windblown city near Chile's southernmost tip sits on the Strait of Magellan, which itself is positioned squarely between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
San Antonio (Santiago), Chile
This large, modern port serves Chile’s capital, Santiago, a city with Spanish colonial charm and a vivacious spirit. Encircled by the Andes and the Coastal Range, Santiago is centered around the Plaza de Armas, with several of the city’s landmarks.
