South American Culture: From Ancient Ruins to Vibrant Festivals
South America’s cultural tapestry weaves together centuries-old civilizations, colonial architecture, and unforgettable local celebrations. Wander the stone streets of Cartagena, marvel at Machu Picchu’s mountaintop mysteries, or join the joyous street parties of Rio de Janeiro. Every port reveals a new chapter of art, history, and community traditions.
When to Cruise South America: Seasonal Highlights
The ideal window for a South America cruise runs from November to March, when the southern summer brings warm days from Buenos Aires to Patagonia. For whale watching and glacier calving spectacles, consider October–November or March–April. And if you’re chasing shoulder-season savings and fewer crowds, venture in April or October for mild weather and off-peak fares.
Nature & Wildlife: Extraordinary Encounters
From the steamy jungles of the Amazon to the windswept peaks of Tierra del Fuego, South America is a paradise for wildlife lovers. Spot pink river dolphins at dawn, hear howler monkeys deep in the rainforest, or glimpse penguin colonies on remote southern isles. Every day at sea or ashore promises an unforgettable encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions About
South America Cruises
We're here to help as always...
What’s the best time of year to cruise South America?
The ideal window is November through March for warm weather and calm seas—perfect for Patagonia fjords, Amazon adventures, and beach stops in Brazil. Shoulder seasons (April–May or September–October) can offer fewer crowds and lower fares, though some weather-driven itineraries (like glacier calving tours) are best in high season.
Do I need a visa for South America?
Visa requirements vary by nationality and port country. UK and EU citizens typically enter Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru visa-free for tourism up to 90 days. U.S. and Canadian passport holders usually also enjoy visa-free short stays, but always check current embassy guidance before you travel.
Are shore excursions included?
Shore excursions are booked à la carte and charged separately. You’ll find a menu of guided tours - kayaking Patagonian fjords, Amazon wildlife safaris, historic city walks, etc. available during booking or onboard via your Personal Cruise Concierge. Premium experiences (private helicopter flights, exclusive winery visits, small‐group adventures) carry an additional fee.
If you’d like a package rate or pre-book multiple tours, just let your Concierge know and we can often arrange special pricing or bundled options.
Which luxury cruise lines sail South America?
We partner with the world’s top luxury and expedition operators - Silversea, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Ponant, Oceania, and Viking - offering small-ship comfort and all-inclusive amenities for every style of voyage.
Can I combine my cruise with a bespoke land tour?
Absolutely. Our Personalized Cruise Concierge can arrange pre- or post-cruise extensions - think Machu Picchu treks, Amazon jungle lodges, wine-country stays in Mendoza or Bariloche, and more. Just let us know your interests!
Is it safe to cruise and explore remote regions?
Yes. Ships and shore excursions are operated by vetted, licensed local partners with full safety protocols. Our Concierge will brief you on health recommendations (vaccinations, malaria prophylaxis) and ensure you travel with peace of mind.
Why book with Luxury Sassy Cruises?
Because you deserve more than just a cruise - you deserve the insider access, VIP perks, and personalised planning that turn a great holiday into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our team curates every detail around you.
