South America Cruises For Those Who Love An Adventure
By Julia Barnes
South America cruises feature thousands of miles of
unparalleled beauty and diverse terrain. From the snow-capped
volcanoes of Chile to the Paris-like, cosmopolitan Buenos
Aires, there are many itineraries to choose from.
Since the continent is so massive, routes vary between
Pacific and Atlantic cruises or longer voyages that
take you from the equator and down around the entire
Cape Horn, touching down in Antarctica.
Some ships offer Amazon River cruises, while others
stick to major port cities like Rio de Janeiro and Punta
del Este. Since the itineraries are ever-changing, many
travelers are coming back for their third or fourth
South American tour, especially with all the travel
deals out there.
Looking Out For More Intimate Boats
If it’s adventure you’re seeking, then run-of-the-mill
South America cruises with all the typical port stops
and generic tours won’t do it for you. Stay away from
big cruise liners and instead look out for more intimate
boats that can get you to all the pristine islands and
hidden gems. Lindblad Expeditions’ "Polaris,"
for instance, focuses on the Galapagos, with port calls
at Paracas, San Juan, Puerto Mollendo, Arica, Isla Pan
De Acuzar, Coquimbo and the Juan Fernández Islands.
The expeditions offer creature comforts but put more
emphasis on enrichment, offshore activities and off-the-beaten-path
ports than other North Atlantic cruises. Their team
of historians, naturalists and team leaders focus on
wildlife and up-close exploration, which is ideal for
a place with the world’s most diverse assortment of
wildlife. Ideally, you’d hit up their Antarctica fleets
during the summer months, while saving South America
for spring or fall.
Seven Seas Manner
Perhaps you hopped aboard one of those dirt-cheap South
America cruises last time, and had to make do with an
inner cabin, so on this voyage you’re looking for something
a bit more high-class. Regent Seven Sea Cruise’s "Seven
Seas Mariner" is one of the best luxury liners
in the world of Atlantic cruises, featuring spacious,
all-suite, all-balcony accommodations.
The smallest suite is 356 square-feet and they get
as big as 1,403 square-feet. All rooms have a calming,
contemporary design and some suites include butler service.
Select wines and alcoholic beverages are even added
in their all-inclusive beverage clause, which is rare
for a cruise ship.
33 Night Grand Voyage Fully Circles South America
Guests can choose between four gourmet dining experiences
at the Compass Rose, La Veranda, Prime 7 steak-house
or Signatures Restaurant. Entertainment includes a spa,
fitness center, a theater, a cigar bar/lounge and casino.
You won’t want to miss their 33-night "Grand Voyage,"
which fully circles South America.
There are many cruise lines featuring adventurous South
America cruises. You can hop aboard Celebrity Cruise
lines’ "Infinity" for a 14-night holiday cruise
that stops in Valparaiso, Chile, Puerto Montt, Chile,
Chilean Fjords, Strait Of Magellan, Punta Arenas, Chile,
Ushuaia, Argentina, Cape Horn, Chile, Puerto Madryn,
Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay, Punta Del Este, Uruguay,
Buenos Aires and Argentina.
Symphony For 19 Days
You can spend 19 days sailing from Buenos Aires to
Valparaiso on Crystal Cruise line’s "Symphony,"
which spends the night in Argentina, then passes through
the Drake Passage, visits the Falkland Islands and boasts
offshore visits to the Chilean fjords.
Princess takes you from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to
Manaus, Brazil in 14 nights, stopping in: Parintins,
Brazil; Boca Da Valeria, Brazil; Santarem, Brazil; Devils
Island, French Guiana; Trinidad; St. Lucia; and St Barthelemy,
Guadeloupe. Regardless of which itinerary you choose,
you’ll likely have to return to experience all this
continent has to offer!

More Mediterranean Cruises Facts....
What are the costs of Mediterranean cruises?
The costs of Mediterranean cruises
vary depending on how many nights/days you wish to be
on board. Another factor is where the ship is going
and what time of year it is. Generally the climate is
such in the Mediterranean that any time of year is good
for a vacation. But there are certain times when the
costs will be much higher.
Most of the large cruise lines
sail the Mediterranean between the months of May to
October. Then there will be a break during July, which
is the hottest time to cruise, and then the cruise lines
will begin again in August. You can find cruise lines
that sail year round though. Just remember that the
larger the cruise ship, the cheaper your vacation will
be because there are more rooms available.
You can find cruises starting
at around $500.00 USD if you know where to look. The
longer you stay or the more ports of call the ship makes,
the higher the package will be. You also have to consider
the cost of you getting to the Mediterranean if you
live overseas. So factoring in airfare is very important.
