Rugged & Remote Landscapes
Cruising the most remote of unspoilt straits in the world aboard Borealis is an experience like no other. Our epic voyage allows you to witness awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula, and its wonders, wildlife and waters. With three days of scenic cruising the region on this journey, you’ll experience the might of its snow-capped mountains and the sheer volume of icebergs and glaciers. Surrounded by majestic glaciers and peaks, the Chilean Fjords are full of hidden lakes and waterfalls, created by glacial activity. The nutrient-rich waters here are home to wildlife such as Magellan penguins, dolphins, seals and the one of the largest birds in the world, the Andean Condor, which you may see during your days spent scenic cruising. Join us on a tour from Buenos Aires to experience the thunderous cascade of waterfalls at Iguazu Falls, surrounded by lush, tropical landscapes.
Life in Latin America
Your cruise to Rio de Janeiro has been perfectly timed for you to experience the iconic Carnival in the Sambadrome, a dazzling display of extravagant costumes and dance to sizzling samba rhythms. The dance theme is strong in Argentina where you’ll have the opportunity to see the sensual, soulful and intricately placed footwork of the Argentinian Tango. The cowboy culture of South America is strongly woven into local culture, with their nomadic lifestyle of herding cattle using skilled horsemanship. Deeply connected to the vast landscapes of Argentina and Uruguay, the Gaucho embrace the rustic lifestyle of living off the land.
South American Wildlife
Borealis will take you on a voyage to see some of the most fascinating and endemic wildlife species in the world. When in the Falkland Islands, you’ll have the chance to witness majestic Magellan Penguins, orange-billed Gentoo Penguins and Rockhopper Penguins, as they nest in many of the islands across the archipelago. The rich biodiversity of Ballestas Islands in Peru offer sanctuary to sealions and penguins, allowing them to breed or make home on the rocky shores; while the isolated Galapagos Islands are home to a number of rare species of animals, including giant tortoises, penguins and the world’s largest bird, the waved albatross, which can be visited on a thrilling overland tour from Borealis. Costa Rica is renowned for its diverse array of wildlife inhabiting tropical rainforests and national parks.
