From the South America's forgotten river to the unknown Amazon, here are eight amazing Latin America cruises to try in 2018, as chosen by Telegraph Travel's South America expert Chris Moss.
1. The Chilean fjords
Sharing many species of flora and fauna with Antarctica and catching the tail of polar weather systems, the Chilean fjords are a great introduction to the White Continent. So why not combine the two in a single trip?
The 2019 southern summer cruise season (November through to February) will see the arrival at the Antarctic Peninsula of what Hurtigruten claims to be the “world’s greenest ever expedition ship”, the MS Roald Amundsen.
The 530-passenger new-build is equipped with hybrid fuel technology, a new hull design and on-board power management systems to reduce fuel and CO2 emissions by an estimated 20 per cent.
