Princess Cruises has introduced its 2027–2028 South America program for Majestic Princess, outlining a series of voyages scheduled between October 2027 and January 2028.
The season includes 6 departures across 4 itineraries, ranging from 15 to 37 days, and is structured to provide extended time in port as well as scenic cruising in remote areas of the southern continent.
The program opens with a 37-day voyage departing Southampton and crossing the Atlantic before concluding at San Antonio near Santiago. En route, the itinerary calls at Lisbon, the Canary Islands, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. After this crossing, the vessel will operate shorter itineraries within the region, including 15-day voyages between Buenos Aires and San Antonio, focusing on Cape Horn and the glaciers of Patagonia, as well as 17-day round-trip sailings from Buenos Aires that include extended scenic cruising in the Antarctic Peninsula.
Across the season, the ship will visit 19 destinations in 8 countries throughout South America. The schedule includes overnight stays in Buenos Aires on each sailing and late departures from homeports Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro and Ushuaia, providing additional time ashore.
The itineraries collectively offer access to a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, among them the Peninsula Valdés nature reserve in Argentina and the Carioca landscapes surrounding Rio de Janeiro.
Several voyages incorporate scenic cruising through waterways in southern Patagonia, including the fjords of the Beagle Channel and the glacier-lined passages of Glacier Alley. In Antarctic waters, itineraries are planned to include areas such as the Gerlache Strait, Elephant Island and the South Shetland Islands, where wildlife sightings may include penguins, seals and whales.
The company also plans a series of optional land extensions designed to accompany the cruises. These programs include a Machu Picchu itinerary in Peru, visiting Lima, the Sacred Valley, Cusco and the Inca citadel, as well as an Iguazu Falls extension linking Buenos Aires, the waterfalls on the Argentina-Brazil border and Rio de Janeiro.
On board, the voyages will incorporate destination-focused programming reflecting the regions visited. Naturalists are scheduled to accompany the Antarctic sailings, offering commentary on wildlife and the history of exploration in the region, while cultural programming will highlight regional traditions such as Brazilian music and Argentine cuisine.
