South America Cruise

South America is another source of ancient civilisations. The region’s dramatic past is in the atmosphere as you step on the pathways, pavements and ancient sites offshore. Sites on staggeringly beautiful islands, tantalising crumbling ruins which tell tales of a cruel colonial history, dramatic fjords, mountain ranges, tempestuous cities, tropical rivers as wide as seas, like the Amazon, and always the rainforests. Cruises in this region fall into many categories. You can travel South from North America down the West Coast to Santiago in Chile, The Galapagos Islands Cruises, Santiago to Buenos Airies around Cape Horn, to Argentinean and Brazilian cities. Book a cruise that explores the Amazon River too, as a once in a lifetime experience.

All Ocean-Cruise flights are with either major airlines - Virgin Atlantic, British Midland International, American Airlines, United Airlines - or household name charters - My Travel, Thomas Cook, Air Atlanta, and so on. We can arrange flights on budget airlines too!
