Frequently Asked Questions

The core season is the austral summer, roughly November through March, when Brazil’s beaches and the far south enjoy their warmest weather. Amazon and Galapagos expeditions operate across a wider window.

Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Santos host many of the coastal sailings, while Galapagos voyages are usually reached through Quito or Guayaquil in Ecuador. Some itineraries also start from North American ports as longer repositioning voyages.

Entry requirements vary by nationality and by country visited, and some countries also require specific vaccination documentation. Review the rules for every port on your itinerary well before departure.

Galapagos itineraries use small expedition ships with naturalist guides, and daily landings focus on wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Capacity is limited by park rules, so booking early matters.

Coastal Brazil itineraries can be under a week, while Amazon, Patagonia and around-the-continent voyages commonly run from 10 nights to several weeks.
