Winter in in the northern hemisphere is summer in the southern hemisphere, best season to cruise towards the south end of America. In the desire to explore the glacier landscape we decided on this cruise that allowed us to also visit many ports in Argentina (Patagonia) and Chile (Tierra del fuego).

Holland America filled our expectation of 5 star accommodations and service. The cabin was comfortable and clean. Dining was excellent with a wide variety of selections. Entertainment was different and I was glad it included south American artists showcasing Latin music, singers and dances. I always appreciate the classical music presentation at the adagio, but also enjoyed the unique bandoneon concerts by Guido.

Buenos Aires, was a tough afternoon with the protest that blocked the city traffic.
