Small Ship Latin America Cruises

A Treasure Chest

A journey through Latin America is a journey into the wondrous and the improbable. Come and discover civilizations that thrived on high mountain peaks and in thick jungle, colonial treasures, an oasis of unique species in the Galapagos, cloud forests, steaming volcanoes, the Panama Canal, and stunning beaches that beckon with whisper-soft sand and rum punch. Dive into the history of civilizations that changed the world. Search for new species in a place where they make new discoveries every other day. And relax on some of the most beautiful islands and coastlines the Americas have to offer.

Windstar Knows the Way to Latin America

When you’re looking for things like capuchin monkeys in a rainforest, hidden Embera Indian villages, or the softest alpaca chullo hats, you need to get close. And nobody gets you closer than Windstar. We know the best way to find endangered giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos. We give you a unique perspective on the amazing Panama Canal as you view the locks and gates at eye level from our small ships. And we take you to must-sees like Machu Picchu, Lima, and Cartagena, as well as to tiny islands in pristine marine reserves, misty cloud forests and volcanoes, and the waters of Golfo Dulce where humpback whales play surrounded by jungle and wildlife.

Haven for Biodiversity Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Belize, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras… this region is a literal who’s who of the world’s most biodiverse nations. From giant tortoises to howler monkeys and toucans, you’ll want to make sure you have your binoculars ready.
Cultures Up-Close Meet farmers who grow traditional Inca crops in the shadow of Machu Picchu, and ranchers who work to protect giant tortoises in the Galapagos. Travel through the jungle to meet the Ngobe-Buglé people in Bocas del Toro, Embera Indians near Colón, and Kuna Indians in the San Blas Islands.
Unique Experiences Experience the magic of a nighttime walk among nocturnal animals and sleeping tropical birds in the private Curi-Cancha Reserve in Monteverde. Swim with pufferfish and sea turtles on tiny Isla San Andres, part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve only accessible by small ships like ours.
Onboard Naturalists On Costa Rica cruises you’ll be accompanied by onboard naturalists who will help you understand the flora, fauna, and ecosystems you encounter.
A UNESCO Utopia Our Latin America itineraries take you to at least 20 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Biosphere Reserves including Machu Picchu, the Galapagos, Cartagena, Portobelo, Cusco, Lima, Quito and Chan Chan.
