Gaucho Sands & Glacial Fjords – Rio, Buenos Aires & Ushuaia
About this cruise
A 33-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on November 19, 2026 and visits Philipsburg, Castries and Bridgetown, with additional stops along the South America. Last stop: San Antonio. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 14 port calls start. The route threads through 8 countries along the South America coast: Sint Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and Chile. Of the stops, Puerto Madryn tends to be the one people talk about: Patagonian whales breaching at your feet. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Majestic Princess has 9 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
