South America is such a vast and varied continent, bursting with energy and a real “bucket list” destination. You’ll begin with a 2 night stay in vibrant Santiago where you will see Chile’s rich cultural heritage come to life as you visit iconic landmarks such as La Plaza de Armas and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Then set sail to revel in the rich history, culture and spectacular natural beauty of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. Of course, no cruise to South America would be complete without the breathtaking experience of scenic cruising around the Chilean Fjords and Cape Horn. A 2 night stay in bustling Buenos Aires completes this trip.

Mr Dick / April 2024

First time with Cruisekings

I wanted to book a cruise which included a drinks package. This was the only cruise company inc. MSC that offered this deal although some said they would possibly price match. I rang to book with a very knowledgeable and efficient operator. Everything was explained and questions answered. I would certainly consider using them in the future.
