Buenos Aires, Argentina
"The Paris of the South," as it is known, has a Theater Opera House, a cathedral and lovely parklands. You can visit the Presidential Palace and museums near the Plaza de Mayo. Or tour Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires' old port, transformed into a boardwalk with fine restaurants and one-of-a-kind shops.

Cape Horn, Chile
At Cape Horn, two great oceans -- the Atlantic and the Pacific -- greet one another. Our passage offers many opportunities to see abundant wildlife, with a naturalist on board to narrate. Horn Island in the Tierra Del Fuego archipelago, is the southernmost point of the Americas.

Straits of Magellan
Named after the Portuguese explorer who discovered the Tierra del Fuego, the 360-mile strait isolates the archipelago from the rest of South America. Imagine yourself as the explorer's first mate as you cruise from the Atlantic to the Pacific upon the still, misty waters of this romantic route.

Days onboard are casual and you'll be most comfortable in sport clothes and resort wear. Shoes should be low-heeled for deck activities. Bring a few swimsuits so you'll always have a dry one. You don't have to bring towels, as they are provided. But don't forget your camera and binoculars, so you don't miss a thing.

For evening wear, count on three basic types of attire:

Casual: Dresses or slacks and blouses for women, sport shirts and trousers for men

Smart Casual: Dresses or pantsuits for women, jackets for men

Formal: Cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties or tuxedos for men (you can arrange to rent a tuxedo onboard)

Ashore, you'll need comfortable walking shoes as well as a hat and sunscreen for protection from the sun.
