Antarctica Expedition Cruise with a tour to Rio and Iguazu Falls

Gentoo Penguins

Cruise & Tour Holidays

This is a South American adventure of two halves. First off, we’ll get to tour and savour the tropical heat of two of South America’s most awesome cities - Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. We’ll gasp at the views from Sugarloaf Mountain, soak up the tango-infused atmosphere of Buenos Aires and be wowed by the mighty cascades of Iguazu Falls. After that we’ll voyage to the white wilderness of Antarctica on a stylish, state-of-the-art HX Hurtigruten Expeditions ship. Over five days at sea we’ll be awed by its quiet majesty and wildlife-rich waters, and inspired by fascinating talks and insights from the HX Expedition Team.
