Fly cruise Holidays aboard the ms Zaandam
This luxury fourteen-night cruise begins in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of poets, composers and
a dance called Tango; a city with European flair and a Latin heartbeat. Then cruise to the ends
of the earth through the Cockburn and Beagle Channel’s as you make your way to Ushuaia, the
southernmost town in the world. Prepare to have your breath taken away by the mesmerising beauty
of the Chilean Fjords and marvel at unusual rock formations and imposing granite cliffs as you enjoy
scenic cruising around Cape Horn. At the end of your cruise you will spend a night in Santiago Chile,
a lush, irresistible tangle of serpentine streets, steep hills and the famous ascensores.
