You've gotta check out this timelapse video of the Radiance of the Seas sailing through the beautiful Chilean fjords. Looks just like Alaska!

I like the part where the ship turns around a corner into two rainbows.

The S. A. trip is an amazing cruise in itself. I loved every minute of it. Quite different from what we had done and seen before. I would highly recommend it to any cruiser.

Thanks for the memories. We did this on the Splelndor last year and the scenery was spectacular.

It's amazing how similar it is to Alaska...en Espanol!

We were on this sailing of the Radiance and it was truly amazing. It was raining and cloudy all day, but when we got to Skua Glacier, the sun came out. Captain Trym Selvag turned the ship so that everyone who had a balcony could get great photos. It was one of the major highlights of the cruise! Thanks for posting this!

Hmmm, that and some Alaska video I saw is making me rethink cold area cruising.

 

thanks for sharing.

We also were on this cruise. It was wonderful and now I have a video I can watch! Thanks miraflores for posting it.

 

For those of you that are thinking about making this cruise all I can say is DO IT!!! Cruising around the Horn in South America is awesome!!!

That glacier reminded me a lot of Alaska...Chile is amazing, and cruising the coast is a wonderful way to see it.

amazing video and very nice that the captain turned the ship in all directions so that everyone could get a picture from their balconies.

graciepuppy, I noticed the video was dated March. We did out trip in January/February and had wonderful weather. What was the weather like when you were there. I never saw in ice floating in the water on our trip.

I was on the cruise with Barb and can answer that question. For our trip around the Horn, we had 40 ft. seas and 80 mph winds. It was awesome! Even Captain Trym came on the intercom and exclaimed "Whoopie, that was more fun than a roller coaster at Disney World!"

 

We had beautiful weather (warm, not hot) for most of our 16 day cruise. I want to do it again!!!:D

Ah, a little confusing there at first....as I am also Barb:rolleyes:

Our passage around the horn was smooth as silk. A lot of people were truly disappointed.

What is the best time of the year to do a South American cruise?

[truffles2]

Our winter is their summer. Our Jan/Feb weather was awesome.

[trixietx]

We were on this cruise also. It is definately the most exciting cruise or trip we have ever taken. I thought it would be just like Alaska, but it is not. It was so exciting going around the Cape and through the Fjords with the wind blowing and the ship rocking and rolling.

It just made the trip of a lifetime that much more exceptional.

Thanks for sharing the video.

[rogicoco]

it's a great video. thank you for posting.

[miraflores]

I got there in January, and it was really nice. Cold, but nice. I was down there from January to April, and anytime in that stretch is pretty decent.

 

February might have been about the nicest I saw though.

Haha...we went around the Horn a few times, and we had HUGE seas one week and were talking about it the next cruise, and when it was calm...people were disappointed...haha.
