South America: Rugged and profoundly different
See South America through the eyes of a seasoned Viking guest and learn about the extraordinary landscapes they witnessed on our 18-day South America & Chilean Fjords ocean voyage.
Explore South America
Delve deeply into the natural, cultural and historic wonders of South America - fast becoming one of the world's leading ocean and expedition destinations for curious travellers.
On a South American ocean voyage, you'll discover brilliant natural wonders, buzzing cities and vibrant, ancient cultures.
WHERE CULTURE AND NATURE CONVERGE
The countries that makeup South America are as diverse as the continent is vast. This is truly a land of extremes, from tropical rainforests to glaciers and mountains, remote islands, ancient ruins, colonial towns and the most vibrant of big cities.
While an overland adventure may require months of preparation and planning to experience the region to the fullest, an ocean or expedition voyage can be a far simpler and more comfortable way to explore, taking you to multiple destinations while unpacking just once.
Explore Brazil – synonymous with music, dance and nightlife at the same time as being home to the Amazon and remote, indigenous tribes. Visit long and narrow Chile, with its vast landscape of natural extremes, from desert to glaciers. Head to Argentina to dance the tango while marvelling at the snow-capped peaks of the Andes. Discover the wilds of French Guiana, or pop into Uruguay – South America’s smallest country which manages to pack more than its fair share of adventure into its borders.
A Viking ocean or expedition voyage delivers the best of both worlds, with smaller ships that can visit both the larger and lesser-known South American ports, including the ability to sail the mighty Amazon River.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SOUTH AMERICA
The best way to experience a destination is to embrace its history, culture, sites and cuisine and various art forms that make it unique. Here we share just a few of the unique aspects of South America that you can experience in person on a trip with Viking.
