Grand South America Explorer

From Incan empires in the Andes to the lacy fjords of Chile, the steamy jungles of the Amazon to ethereal ice worlds in Antarctica, this is it: the definitive South America experience, covering more than 30 ports, 14 countries and the diverse sights of two continents.  And to think you'll see it all roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, without a single international flight.

Relax on beautiful Brazilian beaches. Stroll the exquisite boulevards of Buenos Aires. Be among the few to witness the surreal beauty of Antarctica. Explore the rainforests and jungles of the Amazon River searching for rare and endangered species. Walk in the footsteps of ancient Incans at Machu Picchu, built high in the Andes Mountains in the first century AD. Throughout your cruise, we bring the history, culture and natural wonders of South America alive with our onboard Explorations Speaker Series and award winning shore excursions.

Holland America Line has purposefuly designed our itineraries to allow guests maximum time in each port.  To make the most of it, we have also sought out shore excursions that showcase the city or region at its best, be it nature, history or culture.
