Explore Latin America with the Chilean Fjords in immersive 79-night sailing with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Travellers looking to immerse themselves in a culture-rich and vibrant voyage can join Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ new ship Bolette for a 79-night sailing to Latin America with the Chilean Fjords in January 2022 – with up to £400 per person to spend on board.

Among the highlights will be days ashore in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Brazil, including overnight stays in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. Guests can also experience life beyond the typical tourist attractions, with tours to an Argentinian cattle ranch, a Chilean vineyard and a rare call into Robinson Crusoe Island.

Martin Lister, Head of Destination Experience and Itinerary Planning at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“This is set to be an unforgettable cruise, with opportunities to uncover the history of ancient civilisations such as the Incas at Machu Picchu in Peru and the Maya at Chichen Itza in Mexico; learn the steps to the Samba and the Argentine Tango in the place of their origin and witness the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue and Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro.

“Visits to this region allow us to offer some truly exceptional shore excursions, including the chance to join a gaucho on an Argentinian cattle ranch to learn the importance of his trade, spend time with the Uro community at Peru’s Lake Titicaca and take in the collection of tumbling waterfalls on a visit to Iguazu National Park on the Brazilian border.

“But the wonders will also continue aboard, with remarkable scenic sailings by Cape Horn at South America’s most southern point and the mountains and glaciers of the Chilean Fjords, as well as a transit of the magnificent Panama Canal – one of the most fantastic cruising experiences.”

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines we are very proud of our smaller ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral - and the imaginative and unusual itineraries they allow us to offer. Every cruise is hand-crafted from scratch by our team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure you are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.

For us, it’s not just about where we go but how we take you there. We put as much time into planning scenic cruising as we do in choosing the destinations themselves. On board, our Signature Experiences showcase the history, culture, nature and flavours of the destinations you’ll visit – from Treats of the Region, where you can enjoy local delicacies, to our Sky at Sea star-gazing sessions where you can relax with a hot toddy out on deck while our astronomer talks you through the night sky.

Plus, with each ship carrying 1,300 guests or less, our ships are small enough for us to offer a warm, friendly and personal service where nothing is ever too much trouble, as we visit a host of exciting ports in every corner of the globe.
