Navigator's Great Traverse – Easter Island & Patagonia

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from November 12, 2026. This one's 40 nights from Sydney, and the route visits Noumea, Lifou Island and Suva, with additional stops along the South America. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Disembarkation is in Buenos Aires. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. It's a proper South America tour: 8 countries, from New Caledonia to Argentina. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Serena holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Sydney and come back with stories from New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, United Kingdom, Chile and Argentina.
