Romancing the Stone?


With the world's focus recently on the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, have you been considering a trip to beautiful, exotic South America?

It is an incredibly diverse region, with sunny beaches, historic cities, penguins, pastoral wineries and craggy mountains easily accessible on the same cruise itinerary around the horn.

With excursions, there's mysterious Machu Picchu, magnificent Iguazu Falls and the wild Amazon.


Celebrity always offers fantastic large ships wherever they sail, which includes not only large ship cruises but mega-yacht Galapagos Xpeditions.
Princess seems like they're everywhere you want to go at exactly the right time, bringing you stories of the region on board. Holland America, MSC and Costa will all have large ships in South America, and for those ready to splurge, there are more-inclusive lines like Oceania, Seabourn and Regent Seven Seas with almost everything included in the price.

Unlike Joan Wilder in "Romancing the Stone," you won't be on your own in an exotic foreign land challenged by language and customs.


You will meet dozens of new friends on your cruise or in your tour group, but perhaps when you mention this trip to relatives, you'll discover it's a dream destination for them too.

Just in case the name misleads you, please know that Cruise Planners also has wonderful land tours to fascinating destinations including South America.

Live your dreams!
