Cruise Overview

87 NIGHTS | 28 PORTS | 17 COUNTRIES | 5 CONTINENTS

Extraordinary destinations. Unforgettable moments:-

Amazon | Antarctic Peninsula | Costa Rica | Caribbean
 
South America

An 87-night Grand Voyage through the Amazon, Antarctic Peninsula, Central America and the Caribbean – few journeys bring together landscapes as dramatically diverse as these.

For the first time in nine years, we’re returning to the Amazon, where Borealis sails beyond the coastline and into one of the world’s greatest waterways. As the only cruise line sailing there from the UK, this is a rare opportunity to experience the region without flying, with rainforest-lined riverbanks, colourful riverside communities revealing a different side of South America, and the opportunity to spot elusive wildlife and vibrant birdlife.

Then comes Antarctica. Vast, silent and awe-inspiring, the Antarctic Peninsula offers unforgettable scenic cruising among towering glaciers and drifting icebergs. There’s also the chance to spot extraordinary wildlife, including penguins, seals and whales.

Along the way, discover vibrant cities such as Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, explore Costa Rica’s tropical wildlife and enjoy island-hopping through the Caribbean, with each destination adding another layer to this wide-ranging adventure.

Throughout it all, life on board Borealis is every bit as rewarding as the destinations themselves, with expert speakers, welcoming service and unhurried days designed to help you enjoy every moment of the journey.
