Whether you're tracing the rhythm of samba through Rio, cruising glacier-carved fjords in Patagonia, or chasing the mysteries of ancient civilisations along Peru’s Pacific edge - a cruise around South America is no ordinary holiday. It’s a journey through extremes: jungle and ice, beach and mountain, chaos and calm. From tropical ports to windswept frontiers, each stop reveals a new side of this richly layered continent.

Ports in South America

From sun-drenched metropolises to remote edges of the Earth - cruising South America opens the door to cities, cultures, and unforgettable natural wonders. South America's ports feel like you are voyaging through chapters in a continent-wide epic novel. Begin with the bold rhythms of Rio de Janeiro, where mountains meet the sea in one of the world’s most iconic skylines. Sail south to Buenos Aires, where wide boulevards echo with tango and European charm. In Chile, colourful Valparaíso spills down its hillsides toward the Pacific, while further south, the dramatic fjords of Puerto Montt and Punta Arenas offer a front-row seat to Patagonia’s wilderness. On the Caribbean side, Cartagena welcomes you with colonial walls, sunlit plazas, and the scent of coastal spice. Peru’s Callao unlocks Lima’s culinary riches and Incan history, and Uruguay’s Montevideo invites you to slow down and sip mate by the sea. At the world’s end, Ushuaia waits - remote, windswept, and unforgettable. Every port reveals a new rhythm, a new flavour, and a fresh perspective on this endlessly surprising continent. Whether it’s samba or solitude you seek, a cruise around South America’s ports deliver both - and everything in between.
