Possibly one of the most scintillating continents on the planet, South America writes its own narrative and dances to the beat of its own drum. While one moment during luxury cruises to South America you could be tangoing in Argentina, another you might be enraptured by the mysteries of Machu Picchu in Peru.

Even intoxicating doesn’t seem a good enough superlative to describe South America and somehow falls short. You can only ever appreciate the continent’s true magnetism when you experience it for yourself. Whether you venture into the Amazon, come face to face with the endemic creatures of the Galapagos Islands or stand below the Iguazu Falls to listen to its hypnotic roar, the evocative spirit of South America will infect your soul forever.

But it’s not only the wildlife and landscapes that are a feast for the eyes when you cruise around South America, the people and culture will also invade your senses in an unimaginable fashion. The sights, sounds and smells of South America are as vibrant as its untouched, natural beauty.
