Major cruising programmes around Central and South America are offered by such companies as Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean - two of the biggest names in cruise holidays.
Among the fine offerings of Princess Cruises, are several itineraries which sail up the Amazon river. Royal Caribbean meanwhile, has three, four and six-night cruises around Brazil for those who want to mix their cruise with extended hotel stays at other locations, including of course, Rio. They also offer longer cruise itneraries, in tandem with sister company Celebrity Cruises , including 14-night trips.
It is possible in many cases, to embark from US ports, while others start off from major South American cities such Buenos Aires, Santiago and Rio.
What are the main attractions for such cruises? Well, amongst the huge diversity of this continent, you can focus on the cosmopolitan excitement of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, or fabulous natural wonders such as the Galapagos islands, Chilean fjords and the Andes.
Meanwhile, for the adventurous, and those looking for an ultimate cruise experience, there can be fewer destinations than the Antarctic to conjure up intrigue and excitement.
Most commercial trips to Antarctica start from the southern Argentine port of Ushuaia, and many niche operators such as Swan Hellenic, Voyages of Discovery and Hurtigruten offer expedition-style Antarctica programmes. Upmarket lines such as Regent Seven Seas and Silversea Cruises also offer breathtaking itineraries and a high degree of care.
