Explore South America’s Atlantic coast on a nine-night small-ship cruise during the spring-to-summer shoulder season, when conditions are ideal for travel. Sailing aboard the World Navigator, this journey connects Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina while accessing ports often beyond the reach of larger vessels. Call on lesser-known destinations such as São Francisco do Sul, with its colonial streets and strong German heritage, and Ilhabela, a protected island known for its forests, beaches, and waterfalls. The itinerary also includes landmark cities and sites, from Rio de Janeiro’s Valongo Wharf to Buenos Aires’ historic neighborhoods and Recoleta Cemetery. Along the way, meet local artisans in Búzios, explore a hand-built museum in Punta del Este, and gain deeper context through expert-led lectures and thoughtfully planned shore excursions. With the ease of unpacking once while visiting multiple countries, the cruise offers a well-paced way to experience the region’s landscapes, history, and cultural traditions. An optional post-tour extension to Iguazú Falls, spanning Argentina and Brazil, provides a fitting conclusion to the journey.
