Discover South America

The natural wonders of this breathtaking continent range from long stretches of sun-drenched sands to massive glaciers calving into spectacular fjords, and the cultural treasures are just as diverse. Whether you’re learning to samba in Rio, savoring a grilled asado in Buenos Aires or exploring via Zodiac in the Chilean Fjords or Falkland Islands, our expeditions transport you into the heart of South America’s grandeur.

Expedition Experiences: Cultural & Polar

Cultural Expeditions in South America

Small-group excursions ashore — some included for free — explore South America’s renowned beaches and beyond to discover underwater ecosystems, indigenous cultures, local cuisine and architectural icons. Experts such as photographers, museum curators, local farmers and marine biologists may join guests on board to further enrich the cultural experience.

Polar Expeditions in South America

When exploring the southernmost glacial regions of South America and the Falkland Islands, our polar-class vessels are staffed with expert expedition teams who provide daily briefings on board and guide Zodiac safaris in search of shoreside landing sites, all with our compliments. Some Polar Expeditions may also dock in South American cities where you can explore on optional excursions ashore.
