Majestic Princess: 15-Night from Buenos Aires - December 7, 2026

Your cruise departs from Buenos Aires, Argentina on the Majestic Princess, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait.

Carry small bills for cafes and markets, and enjoy the slower pace that locals embrace.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Montevideo, Uruguay, from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

Wander through Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's historic old town, where cobbled streets, colonial buildings, art galleries, and lively plazas showcase the city's heritage.

Stanley's waterfront is ideal for an easy stroll, lined with brightly painted buildings, memorials, and views of ships anchored in the harbor.

With 17 hours hours in Ushuaia, Argentina - from 7:00 AM to 11:59 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe.

Explore diverse landscapes of forests, rivers, and mountains in Tierra del Fuego National Park.

The Majestic Princess carries 3,500+ passengers, and with only 7 hours hours in Cockburn And Beagle Channels, everyone's competing for the same narrow window.

Your cruise ends in San Antonio, Santiago, Chile, where the Majestic Princess is scheduled to dock at 5:00 AM.

Visitors can also enjoy fresh seafood, stroll along the harbor, and experience local festivals and artisan markets.
