Specialty Cruises
Central and South America are visited by the large cruise ships, but we recommend the smaller, specialty cruises found in many areas that allow the visitors to access more points of interest. Also these cruises will have specially trained naturalist guides that are essential to having a good travel experience. Please contact us for more information, schedules, and prices.
