South Atlantic Ocean cruises

The western shoreline of the South Atlantic is dominated by the two giants of South America: Argentina and Brazil. As well as sharing a passionate rivalry, Brazil and Argentina have a border whose highlight is the Iguacu Falls, widely considered the world's most stunning waterfall.

Vibrant rhythms, a lively beach life, the Rio carnival and an all-conquering football team have made Brazils name, while the statue of Christ overlooking the harbour is one of the great icons of world travel. Argentina is known for its sensual tango, steak and wine, and the grandeur of Buenos Aires, arguably South America's most sophisticated capital.

On the other side of the Atlantic the highlight for most is South Africa. Table Mountain, Cape Town, the Garden Route and the Stellenbosch winelands are all musts for visitors to the Rainbow Nation, while neighbouring Namibia, a striking land of dunes and wildlife, is also worth seeing.
