Why this cruise might suit you
This sailing is aimed at travellers who like contemporary dining, roomy public spaces and a relaxed onboard vibe. Expect a mix of interior cabins, balcony staterooms and suites, with add‑ons available for specialty dining, entertainment packages and other upgrades. Different fare types unlock different perks, so there’s flexibility whether you want a simple cabin or something more luxurious.

Prices, promotions and what’s included
Those two headline prices reflect different fare categories or the small promotional allotments attached to the offer. Standard cruise fares usually cover your cabin, most main‑restaurant meals and the ship’s regular entertainment. Extras you’ll almost certainly pay separately include specialty restaurants, shore excursions, Wi‑Fi, gratuities and some drink packages.

Before you commit, get the fine print. Confirm:
– Exactly which services are included and which are optional extras
– Cancellation and change penalties for the fare you’re considering
– Any eligibility rules, blackout dates or booking deadlines tied to the promotion

Ask the agent to email the full fare breakdown, the booking terms and the reservation code before you pay.

Picking the right cabin
Balconies cost more but give private outdoor space, better light and often a higher resale or upgrade value. Consider deck position: midship cabins usually feel steadier at sea, aft rooms can have larger balconies and better views, while forward cabins may be noisier or see more foot traffic. Layouts and sizes can differ by ship refit and specific sailing, so request the deck plan and photos for this voyage before you choose.

Itinerary and planning tools
You can view the route as a map to see ports and sailing legs at a glance, or as a day‑by‑day list with arrival and departure times. Keep a printed or digital copy of the itinerary handy — port times are essential for passport control, transfers and planning excursions.

Practical travel tips
– Aim to arrive in Buenos Aires at least one day early. That removes the stress of tight flight connections on embarkation day; the ship sails at 17:00 on 5 Dec.
– If a port requires tendering, ask your agent about the tender schedule. Tendering can shorten your usable time ashore and sometimes involves queues.
– Official cruise‑line shore excursions usually include guaranteed transfer back to the ship. Independent tours can be cheaper or more flexible but carry the risk of missing the ship if traffic or delays occur.
– Save confirmation emails, supplier contact numbers and your reservation code. Share them with a travel companion or print them out.
