Cruise Description

37 days | Valparaíso - Chilean Fjords - Ushuaia - Falkland Islands - Montevideo - Porto Alegre - Ilha Grande - Paraty - Rio de Janeiro

Unlike the "big ones", on this cruise we head precisely to where you can experience new terrain at close quarters - for example in the fascinating fjord world of Chile. Pass through the Strait of Magellan, explore Tierra del Fuego and cruise off Cape Horn: Walk in the footsteps of the great explorers! Then experience at close quarters how diverse and unique Brazil is. Following in German footsteps at the end of the world? Drinking caipirinha in the home of cachaça? Or discover the breathtaking flora and fauna on paradisiacal beaches? Don't worry: you don't have to choose. You can simply take your pick from the full range of wonderful destinations we visit. Including Rio de Janeiro, of course!

Highlights:
- Experience the legendary Patagonian fjord landscape around Puerto Natales not from a distance, but up close and with all your senses.
- Experience the sheer size of the "Torres del Paine", the three needle-like granite mountains in the middle of the national park near Puerto Natales.
- The Pio XI glacier comes within reach. Tip your ears! Can you hear it growing?
- Pass the Strait of Magellan and become part of the centuries-old maritime history of South America.
- Discover the diversity in Paraty: stroll through the UNESCO-listed old town, snorkel in the sea or hike in the rainforest
- Sugarloaf Mountain, the Christ the Redeemer statue and Copacabana: three sights that people around the world want to see at least once in their lives.
