Traveling to the White Continent on Seabourn

What do you think of when you envision a visit to Antarctica? There are the obvious attractions; glaciers, icebergs and fjords, along with sightings of whales, seals, Emperor penguins and other exotic wildlife.

A cruise with Seabourn, however, also allows you to experience much of South America’s majestic beauty; to follow the Andes southward, the pleasure of viewing massive mountains, snow-capped volcanoes and the remnants of ancient civilizations. See the world’s largest river and tropical rainforests, and spend time getting to know the history and culture of this incredible continent.

Listed below are some of the itineraries Cruises-N-More recommends for a trip down the coast of South America and on to Antarctica.
