South America is a continent of contrasts—tango in Buenos Aires, glaciers in Patagonia, golden beaches in Brazil, and the wild, winding waterways of the Amazon. If you’re dreaming of exploring this fascinating region without giving up the comforts of luxury, Silversea Cruises offers one of the most elegant and immersive ways to do it.
At Scott & Thomas, we love pairing our clients with experiences that feel both exclusive and effortless. Here’s why a Silversea cruise through South America is a top-tier adventure—and why it might just be the best way to explore this unforgettable part of the world.
Small Ships, Big Experiences
Silversea’s smaller ships are a big part of the appeal. Unlike massive cruise liners, these intimate vessels can dock in remote ports and navigate narrower passages, giving you access to places that big ships simply can’t reach. You’ll visit vibrant cities like Rio de Janeiro and Valparaíso—and then wake up the next morning anchored off a tiny Patagonian village or gliding through glacier-carved fjords.
If you’re craving a front-row seat to nature and culture, Silversea delivers. Their South America itineraries include a mix of iconic cities and rarely visited gems, with expert-led shore excursions that go far beyond the tourist trail.
All the Luxury, Already Included
With Silversea, luxury is more than just a suite and a sea view—it’s a fully inclusive experience. That means butler service for every suite, fine wines and premium spirits, specialty dining, gratuities, transfers, and even many of your shore excursions are all part of the package.
And yes, room service is 24/7—so whether you’re craving ceviche at midnight or coffee on your private balcony as you sail past an Andean sunrise, your butler has you covered.
Taste Your Way Through the Continent
One of our favorite things about Silversea’s South American cruises? The food. Their S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) program is a culinary journey in itself. Onboard, chefs prepare regionally inspired menus, while ashore, you’ll have the chance to visit local markets, take part in cooking classes, and even dine with South American chefs.
Think pisco tastings in Peru, steak and Malbec pairings in Argentina, or hands-on empanada making in Chile. It’s luxury with local flavor—and a must for any foodie traveler.
A Floating Boutique Hotel
Every Silversea ship feels more like a floating boutique hotel than a traditional cruise. Suites are elegantly designed and spacious (many with private balconies), and the service is refined without being stuffy. Expect fresh flowers, marble bathrooms, and plush bedding—plus a team that gets to know your preferences fast.
The Scott & Thomas Touch
When you book your Silversea South America cruise through Scott & Thomas, we elevate the experience even further. Our advisors help match you with the perfect itinerary, handle pre- and post-cruise stays, and can often unlock exclusive rates, suite upgrades, and VIP extras not available to the public.
