A joyous Brazilian beat follows this voyage as it swings south, offering a blend of fascinating ports in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. To set the leisurely tone, Insignia spends the first evening in Rio de Janeiro, giving you time to absorb its lively rhythms and hypnotic nightlife. As a counterpoint to these urbane pleasures, you will also call on idyllic Ilha Grande, much of which is a protected natural reserve, and Itajaí, where you may hike the ecological trails within the emerald-green Atlantic Forest. The many charms of Uruguay come to light in the vivacious, affluent beach resort of Punta del Este and in the capital of Montevideo. Here, you can tour the outstanding Juanicó Winery or explore the city's rich heritage. The options expand further during two full days and two evenings in Buenos Aires and include a passionate tango show and traditional gaucho fiesta.

The staggering beauty of Tierra del Fuego is on display in the hinterlands outside of Ushuaia. Then, after cruising the pristine Chilean fjords on Insignia, you might opt for an even closer view by sailing a catamaran past the awesome glaciers near Laguna San Rafael, as Chile's natural beauty is boundless.
