South America Highlights

Architecture—check. Wildlife—double check. Music, food, art, dancing, beaches, festivals, parades, sports and adventures—check, please. If you’re not in South America, you need to get to South America, and if you are, we have a few new ideas for you. Explore and discover dozens of fascinating ports of call along South America's mystifying coast. The possibilities are endless… but not the tanning oil. Thank the beaches—that runs out pretty fast.

Carnival Splendor will spend nearly two whole months exploring South America, and you'll have your choice of three unique itineraries while she's down there. First is the 17 Day South American Explorer, which travels from Los Angeles to Santiago, but not before giving you the chance to check out Galapagos, Machu Picchu and Cabo San Lucas. Next, she’ll voyage from Puerto Montt to Buenos Aires on the 13 Day Fjords, Glaciers & Patagonia voyage, letting you sample the natural sights of the Chilean fjords, the European flavor of Montevideo and the southernmost point in the world at Cape Horn. Finally, the 18 Day Brazilian & Caribbean Splendor will take you from Buenos Aires to New York, and leave you intimately familiar with Brazilian favorites like Salvador, Caribbean gems like Barbados and the unparalleled Rio de Janeiro. Whichever itinerary you choose, you'll get one unforgettable dose of South America… or choose all three to experience what is easily the best way to travel from LA to NYC!
