South America Cruise Holidays

A South America cruise offers visitors a true taste of this unique and vibrant continent, with its melting pot of cultures and spectacular natural wonders. A cruise to South America boasts colourful carnivals and Latin beats, lush jungles and steamy rainforests and a host of jaw-dropping landscapes from snow-capped mountains to dramatic waterfalls. Included on various itineraries journeying through the Panama Canal and en route to Antarctica, a South America cruise can offer the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and a great insight into the different countries that make up this fascinating and historic continent.

 

A cruise to South America is an ideal way to discover the delights of the unique countries in the region, each with its own distinct culture, sights and cuisine. South America cruises offer trips to popular destinations such as Argentina, and its capital, the contemporary and energetic Buenos Aires, and exciting adventure tours to the Andes and Patagonia, and Brazil, with its party capital Rio de Janeiro, home of the famous Carnival, and lush jungles and rainforests. One of the most popular trips to take on a South America cruise is a trip along the Amazon River, where passengers can view spectacular wildlife such as monkeys, crocodiles and tropical birds, and learn more about this untouched region through trips to the indigenous villages. A South America cruise also features trips to the ancient civilisations of Peru, with expeditions to the Inca trail and ruins at Machu Picchu. Natural wonders abound on a South America cruise, with diverse landscapes found throughout, and great opportunities for tours and expeditions. Chile boasts extreme landscapes, from arid deserts in the north, and glaciers, fjords and ice-fields at the southern tip, with a South America cruise ideal for experiencing the vast diversity of each country. Beaches to visit on a South America cruise include famous stretches such as Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches in Brazil, as well as less well-known but equally as attractive Punta del Este in Uruguay.      

 

A South America cruise can be a truly memorable journey, with passengers able to experience the modern side of the region, via its lively and welcoming cosmopolitan cities, and still explore the stunning natural wonders and ancient remains still found here. Many companies offer cruises to South America, including Carnival Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn and Windstar Cruises.
