BARRIO – Toronto cruise season is underway and now you can jump on a 46-day cruise that takes you to Cape Horn, Argentina.
Ultra-luxurious cruise line Viking Expeditions has announced their Canada to Cape Horn Grand Explorer route, with the 1.5-month excursion bringing guests across the continents to historic cities through the famous Panama Canal.
Departing from the Port of Toronto, the ship will sail down the St. Lawrence River past Quebec to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, heading south down the Atlantic Ocean with stops in New York City, Norfolk, Charleston, and Ft. Lauderdale.
It will then travel through the Gulf of Mexico, stopping in Cozumel and Colón, Panama, before crossing the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean, where it will then stop in Manta (Ecuador), Lima (Peru), and multiple destinations in Chile before its final stop in Ushuaia, Argentina, often called the “City at the End of the World.”
The full itinerary can be found on their website, and it sounds like the trip of a lifetime.
One problem. This trip ain’t cheap.
The cruise starts at $38,995 a person for a shared room. Otherwise, it starts at $77,990 per person…. Ok, so maybe we’ll just fly LOL
Apparently this isn’t like your typical Carnival or Royal Caribbean vacation cruise.
Viking focuses on enrichment, learning, and experiential activities. Onboard, the ship has a science lab with experts and resident scientists guests can chat with and help with research, spacious staterooms with balconies, and elevated dining offerings.
You can take a dip in one of their three indoor-outdoor pools with a retractable glass dome, sweat it out at the sauna or steam room in the onboard Nordic spa, or take a Pilates class at the gym. There are even two yellow submarines in which you can take an adventure for no additional fee.
The Canada to Cape Horn Grand Explorer only has two departure dates: September 15 and 26.
