No, your travel arrangements are fully included. Your holiday starts directly in Southampton, so your holiday starts right away - no outbound flights needed! Your return flight from Santiago back to the UK at the end of the cruise is included in the package.

Absolutely! Since the cruise finishes near Santiago, you can ask your cruise consultant to delay your return flight. This allows you to spend a few extra days exploring Chile before heading home.

The ship stays docked in Buenos Aires for three days and acts as your luxury hotel. You can explore the city and enjoy its famous nightlife freely without the hassle of packing your bags or moving rooms.

You stay onboard while the ship sails through beautiful, narrow channels. There is no need to step off, as you can view the massive glaciers and dramatic fjords right from the open deck or your private balcony.

The best approach is to pack layers. Bring lightweight clothes and swimwear for the warm stops in Europe and Brazil, and warm, windproof clothing for colder areas like Patagonia. And don't worry, there are laundry facilities onboard, so you can comfortably wear your favourite outfits again and again.

Onboard spending is cashless and charged in US Dollars. On land, debit and credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, though it is handy to carry a small amount of local cash for tiny cafes and markets.
