Many of the continent’s most iconic destinations, including Patagonian fjords, the Galapagos Islands, and the Amazon River, can only be reached by boat. And while the term cruising typically conjures up images of mega-ships that resemble small cities, at Contours Travel, we work exclusively with small, expedition-style cruise ships where the focus is the destination itself.

Indeed, expedition-style doesn’t entail roughing it. On the contrary, it offers luxurious comforts. However, a luxury cruise goes beyond onboard amenities. It encompasses exclusive experiences, quality guides, and a favourable guest-to-guide ratio. Moreover, it thrives on the remote destinations your cruise will explore.

Our main destinations for small-ship cruising are Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, Patagonian fjords, and the Amazon River. But there are other options for those who simply love to sail. Ask our Latin American cruise specialists about cruising the Panama Canal, San Blas islands, Central American Pacific Coast, and more.
