Thread: South America Cruising?

A factoid for you Pagoda. The official name of Buenos Aires is: Puerto Nuestra Senora Santa Maria del Buen Aire. That translates to: Port of our Lady Saint Mary of the Fair Winds. Isn't that a lovely name for a port to either sail from (as we are) or sail to (as you are)?

To me, all of South America has a kind of romantic feel to it, especially around Cape Horn, where so many people sailed in tallships...and those who never went home. The whole area tween Valparaiso and BA is such an amazing mix of cultures, wildlife and scenery.

I cannot wait to board the first of the 3 planes on Dec. 15th at 1510 GMT.

This will be the trip of a lifetime for me in more ways than one.

I got a deal I couldn't refuse on Celebrity Millennium to South America, balcony with air back to FLL from OVC.

Royal Caribbean will be announcing their 2008 South American Itineraries by May 11, 2007.

I am a bad human! I didn't write up my review! I started it, but that was about it.

When is the best weather for cruising in SA?

It depends where in SA you are going. For cruises around the Cape between Argentina and Chile, it's best to go in their summer, Dec- Feb. Where were you thinking of going?

I have no idea Mindy. I need to book a cruise and SA sounds fabulous.

I have heard that the seas near and going around the cape are among the roughest in the world...
