What to Expect on an Expedition Cruise to South America and the Galapagos Islands

South America sees four cruise lines visit the region on expedition cruises, some of which focus purely on visiting the Galapagos Islands, and others which explore the continent. Celebrity Cruises only visits the Galapagos Islands on expedition cruising, with three ships featured on itineraries. Silversea also has Silver Origin visiting the Galapagos, as well as Silver Wind, Silver Explorer and Silver Cloud sailing to the wider South America region. Both of Seabourn's ships, Venture and Pursuit, sailing to South America, alongside Scenic's flagship, Scenic Eclipse.

The only way to experience the Galapagos and South America is on-board luxury cruise ships that are specially designed to take you closer to the action than ever before. Small but perfectly formed, each of these ships reach some of the most remote corners of the region. But don’t think this means you need to compromise on comfort. Pairing intrepid exploration with pure, unadulterated luxury, the cruise lines which visit South America and the Galapagos Islands bring unforgettable excursions with fascinating on-board lectures, exquisite dining and plush all-suite accommodation. Every bar, lounge and deck offers panoramic views of the natural beauty sitting right outside your ship. Add talks from naturalists, peaceful libraries and indulgent hot tubs to your experience, and you will never forget your voyage of discovery.
