Cruising is a wonderful way to discover some of Latin America’s most appealing destinations. And in some cases, it’s the only way! Many of the continent’s most iconic destinations such as the Patagonian fjords, Galapagos Islands or 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.
Of course, expedition-style doesn’t mean that you will be roughing it! Far from it in fact. But luxury isn’t all about the onboard amenities – it is also about the exclusivity of your experience, the quality and ratio of expert guides to guests and of course, the remote nature of where your cruise will take you.
Our main destinations for small-ship cruising are Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, Patagonian fjords and 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.
