Vibrant cities, world-famous natural wonders such as the Garibaldi Glacier and a circumnavigation of the legendary Cape Horn – a cruise of superlatives from the west to the east coast of South America awaits you.
Your cruise along the coasts of South America begins in Valparaiso. After cruising through the Chilean fjord landscape and along the Pio XI Glacier, you will reach Punta Arenas, the heart of Patagonia. From here, fly to the Torres del Paine National Park*, the most famous of Chile’s 40 some national parks. Alternatively, go on a hike in Magallanes National Reserve* with its unique flora and fauna. After the EUROPA 2 has cruised off the Garibaldi Glacier, Ushuaia awaits you. From here, enjoy a natural spectacle with crystal-clear lakes in Tierra del Fuego National Park*. After rounding Cape Horn, the route takes you to Puerto Madryn. Be amazed by Magellanic penguins and rare elephant seals on the Valdes* peninsula. Buenos Aires welcomes you with countless sights and you can also look forward to a trip* in the Delta del Tigre, a labyrinth of hundreds of large and small islands as well as floating gardens. At the end of your cruise, explore the historic centre of Montevideo before disembarking the EUROPA 2 in Rio de Janeiro.

Relaxation at sea – Chilean fjords/Strait of Magellan
Punta Arenas is a vibrant metropolis at the southern tip of Chile and is considered the gateway to the wild beauty of Patagonia. As one of the southernmost cities in the world, it presents itself with a mix of colonial architecture, colorful houses, and a history closely linked to navigation and Antarctic expeditions. Punta Arenas enchants its visitors with a spacious charm, wind-swept shores, and a panorama that hints at the infinity of the nearby Southern Ocean.
The Garibaldi Glacier, an impressive mass of ice in the remote wilderness of Chile, is a highlight of the Patagonian fjords. This glacier, pouring into the sea with its shimmering ice and breaking icebergs, offers a dramatic natural spectacle. Surrounded by steep mountains and untouched nature, the sight of the Garibaldi Glacier is an unforgettable experience and symbolizes the rugged beauty of southern Patagonia. It is a magnet for nature and photography enthusiasts seeking the raw power and silence of this pristine landscape.
In Tierra del Fuego*, the world’s most southerly national park, the landscape is shaped by snow-capped mountains and crystal-clear lakes. See the flora and fauna on a catamaran trip* through the Beagle Channel before the circumnavigation of the legendary Cape Horn and three divine days at sea.
