Featured Ports & Excursions
Cowboy Culture
The lone cowboy rides across the open prairie as he surveys the fertile land before him. Only this storyline isn’t in West Texas. Rather, the cowboy, or gaucho as he is known, is in central Argentina, and the fertile lowlands before him are known as the pampas. A cruise to Buenos Aires with Holland America Line takes you to one of the cultural and commercial capitals of South America. Yet what distinguishes this 21st-century metropolis from other cities of the same ilk is its proximity to the country and, in turn, country living.
Shore Excursion Highlights
Explore the City Further Your cruise from Buenos Aires will allow you to spend a few days before or (if you are disembarking) after to explore this city more fully. To learn more about hotel packages that will extend your cruise vacation, please contact your travel professional or Holland America Line.
Your link to colonial Lima: Cuzco, where ancient Quechua is still spoken in the marketplace, and mist-veiled Machu Picchu.
Sample shore excursions: Archeological Day in Lima; Shopper's Delight; Cuzco & Machu Picchu Overland Adventure.
A lush, irresistible tangle of serpentine streets, steep hills and 15
ascensores - ingenious antique trams. Nearby is the seaside resort of Vina del Mar.
Sample shore excursion: Highlights of Santiago.
Jungle Love
It's a port city, but the ocean is almost a thousand miles away. One of the world's great boomtowns, Manaus rose to glory as the rubber trade exploded in the late 19th century, minting fortunes and redefining extravagance for its nouveau riche. All the better for today's visitors, as the boom-time landmarks still enchant. The Teatro Amazonas is a copy of the Grand Opera de Paris, the Mercado Municipal echoes Les Halles, and the Palacio Rio Negro evokes old Portugal. Of course, the endless jungle stretches all around. From Manaus, cruise visitors can venture even deeper into the heart of the Amazon, on the lookout for jungle birds, manatees, and giant alligators.
Shore Excursion Highlights
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro resists all adjectives. Even if you get that absolute vista from the top of Corcovado Mountain, you'll still thirst for more – for the taste of an acai berry drink, the pulse of samba, and the feel of the Atlantic on your toes. Drink deeply, you have such a journey before you. A cruise to Rio de Janeiro with Holland America Line brings you the stunning setting and joyous lust for life make Rio a cidade maravilhosa, "marvelous city." Ipanema, Copacabana, samba - the words alone conjure Brazilian paradise. Learn more.
Tour Highlights
Explore the City Further
Your cruise from Rio de Janeiro will allow you to spend a few days before or (if you are disembarking) after to explore this city more fully. To learn more about hotel packages that will extend your cruise vacation, please contact your travel professional or Holland America Line.
Ghosts in the Salvation Islands
As much a metaphor for endurance and rebirth as a location on a map, Devil's Island was once an infamous French penal colony. Today, it helps facilitate French space launches and welcomes thousands of cruise visitors every year. What's called "Devil's Island" is actually a group of three volcanic islands just off the coast of French Guiana collectively known as the Salvation Islands. The islands are beautiful, but to former prisoners they were the "Green Hell." Come ashore and tour the ghostly ruins.
There are no shore excursions offered at Devil's Island.
