South America

Cruises in South America offer exquisite insight into this diverse continent, from basking on the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil to witnessing the spectacular Chilean fjords. Sailing north to south, along the coasts of Ecuador, Peru and Chile, PONANT drops anchor in remote locations to showcase pre-Columbian civilisations and winding and icy canals. To the east, an expedition cruise on the Amazon River takes you to the heart of a lush jungle, for unforgettable encounters with local communities.
