Princess Cruises has introduced its 2027–28 South America season aboard Majestic Princess, bringing together a mix of scenic exploration, cultural experiences, and extended time at key destinations. The season, running from October 2027 to January 2028, features six departures across four thoughtfully planned itineraries ranging from 15 to 37 days.

Speaking about the announcement, Jim Berra, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer, said, "Our 2027–28 South America season is designed to bring guests closer to the world's most breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures. From the polar desert of Antarctica to the lively streets of Rio de Janeiro, Majestic Princess offers unforgettable experiences that combine adventure, enrichment, and our friendliest service at sea."

The season opens with a 37-day South America Passage Grand Adventure departing from Southampton (London). This long voyage crosses the Atlantic with stops at Lisbon, Canary Islands, Rio de Janeiro, and Montevideo, before ending in San Antonio (Santiago). Following this, Majestic Princess will operate popular routes including the 15-day Cape Horn & Glaciers of Patagonia voyages between Buenos Aires and San Antonio, and 17-day Antarctica & South America sailings that begin and end in Buenos Aires, with overnight experiences in the Antarctic Peninsula.

In addition to the sea journeys, guests can choose from curated cruisetours that combine land and sea travel. The Machu Picchu Explorer offers a six-night land journey covering Lima, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru, while the Iguazu Falls Adventure includes a five-night experience across Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and Rio De Janeiro.

Overall, the season covers 19 destinations across eight countries and includes access to 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Highlights include Peninsula Valdés Patagonian Nature Reserve, known for whale watching, and the famous Carioca Landscapes in Rio de Janeiro, home to Copacabana Beach and Christ the Redeemer. Each sailing also includes overnight stays in Buenos Aires and late-night port calls in cities such as Lisbon, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro, and Ushuaia.

A key highlight of the journey is scenic cruising through the Beagle Channel Fjords and Glacier Alley, where guests can witness glaciers flowing from the Darwin Mountain Range. Extended time in the Antarctic Peninsula allows for close encounters with wildlife and dramatic icy landscapes.

Wildlife sightings are a major part of the experience, with opportunities to see large penguin colonies in the Falkland Islands, along with whales, seals, seabirds, and more across Antarctic waters. The routes also showcase iconic natural and cultural landmarks, from the Gerlache Strait and Elephant Island in Antarctica to Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountains in Brazil, and Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn in Chile and Argentina.

Cultural experiences are woven throughout the journey, giving guests a taste of local traditions such as samba in Brazil and tango in Argentina and Uruguay. Regional cuisine also plays a key role, with offerings ranging from Brazilian caipirinhas to Argentine steaks and local wines.

Onboard, the experience is designed to reflect the destinations visited. Naturalists and experts guide guests through Antarctic regions, sharing insights into wildlife and history. The cruise also features destination-inspired events such as Argentine folk music performances and carnival-style celebrations with samba dancers.

Guests can further explore destinations through a range of shore excursions. These include wildlife expeditions in the Falkland Islands, city tours in Buenos Aires, penguin reserve visits in Punta Arenas, and scenic cruises in Ushuaia. Exclusive experiences such as local fishing village visits and gourmet tastings are also part of the offering.

With a combination of nature, culture, and curated experiences, the Majestic Princess South America season presents a detailed and immersive way to explore the region.
