Find Your True North On An Award-Winning South America Cruise

South America is the ultimate destination for the modern explorer. It’s a continent so diverse, you’ll find everything from sun-soaked tropical beaches to dramatic ice-carved fjords. You can discover islands that have been isolated from civilization for millions of years, or you can take part in the world’s most colorful samba celebration. Whether you’re a nature lover, foodie, or culture seeker—or just looking to relax and unwind—a cruise around South America has something to offer for every kind of traveler.

Revel on the legendary sands of Rio de Janeiro. Tango down the grand avenues of Buenos Aires, savoring fine Argentinian wine and cuisine. Gaze in awe at natural wonders like Iguazú Falls. Unravel the secrets of the ancient Inca civilization among the sky-high ruins of Machu Picchu. Channel your inner world explorer as you sail around Cape Horn or journey to the ends of the earth in Antarctica (yes, we do visit all seven continents). This is just a taste of what a South America cruise has in store.

Celebrity Infinity® has the continent covered. Choose from an array of in-depth itineraries visiting must-see destinations, such as Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Antarctica. Looking for the ultimate expedition? Discover our all-inclusive vacation packages to the awe-inspiring Galapagos Islands, with the option to extend your once-in-a-lifetime journey to Machu Picchu. Whichever incredible side of South America you want to explore, you’ll find an award-winning vacation that’s perfect for you.

South America Cruise Highlights

Natural beauty.

Our South America cruises will introduce you to one breathtaking natural wonder after another. From Argentina, you can visit Iguazú Falls, the largest waterfall system in the world. In Chile, you’ll encounter the towering fjords and snow-capped peaks of the Patagonia region. Sail around the majestic Cape Horn, the headland of the Tierra del Fuego. Marvel at the icy landscapes of northernmost Antarctica, watching for penguins and breaching whales. Every day brings incredible new sights.

History and Culture

From the allure of ancient civilizations to the romance of timeless Latin traditions, South America will inspire you at every turn. Step back in time as you explore Machu Picchu, a window into the ingenuity of the Inca Empire. Perfect the delicate steps of the Argentine tango right where the dance was invented. Climb Mount Corcovado to see the Christ the Redeemer statue that watches over Rio, and take part in the city’s over-the-top Carnival. Watch an opera at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, one of the world’s most renowned performance venues. This vast continent will expand every horizon.

A cruise around South America is an eye-opening and delicious culinary journey, and every country makes its own contribution. Savor fresh ceviche and hearty lomo saltado in Peru, renowned for its unique fusion of flavors. Travel to a land of fine wine and cuisine in Argentina, where you can pair a nice glass of Malbec with some Argentine asado—the country’s mouthwatering take on barbecue. Fuel up for your adventures with some freshly baked empanadas in Chile. And when in Brazil, don’t miss out on some hot Feijoada, a homestyle stew of beans, beef, and pork.

Discover The Many Sides of South America

Feast of Flavors

South America is a foodie’s dream destination. Embark on an award-winning Chef’s Market Discoveries tour of Buenos Aires, where a chef from your ship guides you through the city’s fine wine and cuisine. Learn the secret to creating the perfect parrilla in Uruguay. And raise a toast or two at some of Peru’s best pisco vineyards.

Cultural Immersion

Get a deeper look into the places you’ll visit on your South America cruise. Go behind the scenes of Rio’s Carnival, and see how the colorful costumes and floats are imagined. Take a Multi-Day Adventures tour to Machu Picchu, nestled nearly 8,000 feet high in the Andes. And master your tango moves at an authentic Buenos Aires dance club.

Ships Sailing in South America

Dine like a local on your south america cruise, malbec wine.

This easy-to-love red helped put Argentina on the world winemaking map. It’s fruit-forward flavor pairs perfectly with grilled meats, like asado. 

In this light, refreshing seafood dish from Peru, raw fish is “cooked” using a citrus marinade and tossed with fresh, diced vegetables.

Many countries have their own take on empanadas, but Chile’s typically combine chopped olives, raisins, eggs, and beef stuffed into a pastry shell.

Classic Galapagos: Central Southern Islands (Grand Queen Beatriz)

We enjoyed the trip very much. Too bad there was a change of guides in the middle of the tour. Roberto and Alexis were both very good but it is natural for a person to make comparisons. They are quit different people in their mannerisms and the way things present the information. We feel the star in the crew was Giovanni, our cabin steward. Always around to help. One day our wet swim suits disappeared only to return all nice and dry.

Galápagos — North, West & Central Islands aboard the Yolita

My experience with G Adventures at the Galapagos Islands was fabulous. It was all I could imagine and more. Who would have thought that I would be swimming with sharks, penguins and turtles!!. Thank you Omar and crew of the Yolita for your most excellent direction with a local focus, conservation and preservation being the key to all our activities. We were fed well, and given all the comforts of home while being worked hard to fit in all the sights on our 10 day tour. I would most definitely recommend this trip to my friends and family. Ecuador are doing a sterling job in preserving this gem of the pacific.

Overall an excellent trip. The start and end in Quito is well organized, but the trip really starts upon arrival in Baltra. The Daphne is small but comfortable and the crew outstanding. One of the low points is San Christobal where a longer stay than necessary is needed due to the pick up of new guests. The sorkling trips were highlights and missed on the San Christobal day.

South america cruises reviews.

Overall, it was great. The guide Johan and the crew were nice and helpful, paying attention to safety. The ship was clean. The hot tub could be a little hotter. The shower handle was marked wrong, pointing cold for hot water, though we figured out on the 2nd day (another passenger told me). Meals were pretty good, but snacks served at the deck when we return from a day trip were the most enjoyable. Coffee/tea cups were not enough - I would have taken a personal mug if told in advance. The last night/morning harbored at Puerto Ayora was very hard for us. The choppy water caused us motion sickness, and we felt swaying for a few days after the trip.
Great organisation and excellent staff

South America

South America cruises serve a wide range of fascinating destinations and cultures. On a South America cruise, you could see lush rain forests, towering waterfalls, brightly feathered macaws, snowcapped mountains, fiords or penguin colonies. On a South America cruise, you could explore such glittering places as Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, and learn of lost cities, ancient civilizations and time-honored customs.

Some South American cruises last 50 days or longer, sailing south along the west coast around the southern tip of the continent, and north along the east coast, all the way back to the US. Most South American cruises are purchased in shorter segments, from 7 to 15 days. The most popular South America cruise includes ports along the east coast and a segment down the Amazon River to Manaus, Brazil.

  • The South America cruise season lasts from November to March.
  • Cruises to South America are 7 to 50+ nights in length.
  • On South America cruise itineraries that round the southern tip of South America, passengers may be able to sign up for a flightseeing excursion over Antarctica.
  • If you must fly a long distance to reach your port of departure, we suggest that you arrive at the port city at least one or two days in advance of your South America cruise. This will give you time to rest and get oriented before boarding the ship. Most cruise lines offer pre-cruise hotel packages.

Holland America Line Opens Bookings for 2025-2026 Panama Canal and Hawaii Cruises

Cruises include new ports, myriad ways to transit the Panama Canal, plus Nieuw Amsterdam’s Hawaii debut 

Seattle, Wash., March 4, 2024 — Holland America Line has opened bookings for 2025-2026 Panama Canal and Hawaii cruises. The premium cruise line, known for longer and destination-focused voyages, will offer departures from five North American homeports , sailing on five ships.

This season of six different Panama Canal cruises includes several firsts: Holland America Line has added the port of Acajutla, El Salvador, on most Panama Canal sailings. Additionally, guests can sail aboard Pinnacle-Class ship Koningsdam as she makes the transit through the canal for the first time. And for those hoping to transit the canal aboard Zuiderdam, new this season are departures from Miami . Voyages span from 15 to 22 days , providing options for those seeking shorter or longer vacations.

“We know a Panama Canal transit is a once-in-a-lifetime experience many of our guests are seeking, and by adding Acajutla to select voyages, we’re making it even more memorable. Guests can discover the ‘Pompeii of the Americas’ with a shore excursion to Joya de Cerén archaeological site, where they’ll explore a Mayan farming village remarkably preserved under volcanic ash,” said  Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer. “With four different departure cities, there are so many different ways to experience the Panama Canal aboard one of our ships.

In Hawaii, Nieuw Amsterdam makes its debut, cruising roundtrip itineraries from San Diego, California. The ship will be joined by Koningsdam and Zaandam on island-hopping adventures that nearly all include an overnight at Honolulu, Hawaii’s iconic capital. Panama Canal and Hawaii cruises are offered from October 2025 through April 2026 and range from 15 to 22 days.

Natural and man-made marvels feature prominently on cruises to Hawaii and the Panama Canal, with cascading waterfalls, ancient Mayan ruins and, of course, the Panama Canal’s famous locks. Shore excursions are culturally immersive to show off the natural beauty and rich history of the destinations. Cuisine on board highlights local flavors with golden pineapple, locally sourced fresh fish like Pacific mahi-mahi, fresh homemade salsa and other regional  specialties sourced directly from port to plate.

·Several cruises offer multiple embarkation or disembarkation options. For example, Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, Seattle or Vancouver.

·Select Panama Canal sailings include a call at Acajutla, a new port for Holland America Line, offering excursions to remarkably preserved Mayan ruins, volcanoes, and cacao plantations, while also providing a gateway to see more of El Salvador, including San Salvador and Nahuizalco.

·Many Panama Canal cruises include a call at Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s award-winning private island in the Bahamas.

7 continents in 4 months: Holland America Line reveals 2026 world cruise

south american cruise lines

If visiting all seven continents is on your travel bucket list, a new cruise from Holland America Line will make it easy for you.

The cruise line’s 2026 Grand World Voyage will traverse the globe over 132 days, stopping at 47 ports in 39 countries. Passengers just have to get themselves to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the trip’s round-trip departure point.

“We asked thousands of past guests and travel advisors for their opinions about the perfect Grand World Voyage, so this may be one of our most thoroughly researched routes ever for a world cruise,” Holland America’s president, Gus Antorcha, said when announcing the itinerary to guests currently sailing on the line’s 2024 Grand World Voyage on Monday, according to a news release. “This itinerary includes destinations we know guests love, packed with memorable moments and overnight stays."

When is the 2026 Grand World Voyage?

The cruise will set sail on Jan. 4, 2026, on the line’s 1,432-guest Volendam ship which launched in 1999.

Where will the cruise sail?

Antorcha said the cruise will visit fewer ports than previous Grand World Voyages “to allow more time to explore the destinations we visit and to create a voyage that does not feel rushed.”

Passengers will head down South America’s east coast before making their way to Antarctica. There, they will have a four-day Antarctic Experience (though guests won’t disembark due to the ship’s size ).

The ship will then head to destinations like the South Pacific and Australia, with time to explore the Great Barrier Reef. The remainder of the voyage includes Singapore, the Maldives , the Mediterranean and northern Europe. The trip will wind down with a transatlantic crossing before one last stop in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Passengers will stay overnight at nine ports, including Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Sydney, Australia; Bali in Indonesia and Alexandria, Egypt. There will also be five late-night departures in Civitavecchia, Italy, Oslo, Norway, and San Juan, among others.

Other highlights include visits to Easter Island, Adamstown in the Pitcairn Islands, and Bordeaux, France.

What is a world cruise?: Here's what sets the months-long voyages apart

How much does the cruise cost?

Pricing info is not yet available, but an inside cabin on the line's 2025 Grand World Voyage currently starts at $24,999.

Travelers can call 1-800-522-3399 or contact their travel adviser to make a future cruise request for the 2026 itinerary and get priority booking confirmation before the cruise opens for sale to the public in May.

2 crew members die during 'incident' on Holland America cruise ship

Nieuw Amsterdam.png

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Two crew members on a Holland America cruise ship died during an “incident” in the ship's engineering space, the cruise line said.

The unidentified crew members died Friday while the Port Everglades-based Nieuw Amsterdam was at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, Holland America said in a statement.

Authorities were notified and the cause of the accident is being investigated, the cruise line said. Crew members were being offered counseling.

"All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this incident and our thoughts and prayers are with our team members’ families at this difficult time," the statement said. "The safety, security and welfare of all guests and crew are the company’s absolute priority."

The cruise line did not offer any further details about the crew members. It later said the Bahamas Maritime Authority was leading the investigation. The ship set sail out of Fort Lauderdale on March 16 for a seven-night trip.
