Even more oddly, it belongs to Chile, which lies 3,700 miles away over the eastern horizon. In fact, a large slice of the island is Chile’s Rapa Nui National Park, preserving the sculptural heritage of the indigenous Rapa Nui people, whose ancestors carved the ... ### Robinson Crusoe Island *Coordinates: -33.6414, -78.8411* ### Santa Clara Island, Chile ### Valparaiso (Santiago), Chile *Coordinates: -33.0456, -71.6204* Picturesque Valparaiso was one of the first Chilean cities founded by the Spanish.

Through the efforts of the Chilean government emphasizing the city's culture, heritage preserva... ### Puerto Montt, Chile *Coordinates: -41.4717, -72.9369* The lake country of southern Chile seems to be altogether another world from the deserts of the north.

Puerto Montt serves as the principal port for this region and as a gateway for cruises southward into Chile's fjords. ### Castro, Chiloe Island, Chile *Coordinates: -42.6, -73.95* The towns are largely built of abundant local woods, and many houses are elaborately shingled in intricate designs. Even the cathedral is a beautiful, vaulted structure crafted of local hardwoods. The forest and the sea are the source of livelihood and much more in this rustic outpost. ### Gulf of Corcovado ### Puerto Chacabuco, Chile The wild and beautiful Aysén District of Chile lies south of Chiloe and Puerto Montt. Here you find cliffs that drop into immense river valleys, numerous waterfalls and ravines that open into vast valleys, while the Andes form a continuous barrier. Puerto Chacabuco is a popular entry port to the Aysén region. It lies at the eastern end of a very narrow fjord and has replaced Puerto Aysén as the ma... ### Scenic Cruising Wide Channel The Wide Channel is an inside passage along the coast of southern Chile. It separates the eastern lobe of the huge Wellington Island from the Chilean mainland, starting between Saumarez Island and Icy Channel in the north and opening into the Concepcion Channel in the south adjacent to the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park on the mainland Wilcock Peninsula. Surrounded by precipitous mountains, its... ### Eyre Fjord ### Pio XI Glacier *Coordinates: -49.2167, -74.0* ### Peel Fjord ### Brujo Glacier ### Sarmiento Channel ### Strait of Magellan The Strait of Magellan is a 350-mile/570 km channel separating the mainland of South America from the large Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It was first navigated by the explorer Ferdinand Magellan during his circumnavigation voyage in 1520. He named it the Strait of All Saints, because his transit started on November 1, All Saints Day. It was also M... ### Punta Arenas, Chile *Coordinates: -53.1545, -70.9165* Red roofs and smoking chimneys decorate the gently sloping hillsides of Punta Arenas (Sandy Point), the bustling center of one of the world's largest sheep farming areas.

Though the house... ### Antarctic Experience ### The Seabourn Falkland Island Experience ### Stanley/Falkland Is/Islas Malvinas *Coordinates: -51.701, -57.8492* An archipelago of over 700 islands spread over 4,700 square miles lies about 300 miles east of the coast of Argentina. Its political affiliation is with the United Kingdom, and it is named the Falkland Islands, although this is disputed by Argentina, which calls the island group Islas Malvinas. The islands were the focus of a short, violent military confrontation between the two nations in 1982 wh... ### Montevideo, Uruguay *Coordinates: -34.8941, -56.0675* Tucked in between Brazil and Argentina, the republic of Uruguay has nevertheless maintained its own identity and traditions. As South America's second smallest country, it has been called a city surrounded by a big ranch. Montevideo has also been referred to as "The Switzerland of South America," for its same secretive bank system guaranteed by law. Uruguay is principally middle class and boasts t... ### Buenos Aires, Argentina *Coordinates: -34.6118, -58.4173* Founded in 1536, Buenos Aires was administered by a Spanish viceroy for nearly three centuries before winning its independence in 1816. A sleepy port town for most of that time, it wasn't until the turn of the 20th century that the city finally emerged as an important shipping center. Today, Argentina's democratically elected government has made it South America's safest (and most expensive) count... ### Inaccessible Island, St Helena *Coordinates: -37.305, -12.679* Inaccessible Island is an extinct volcano, last active six million years ago, with Cairn Peak reaching 449 m.

They are administered by the United Kingdom as part of the overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha ### Richards Bay, South Africa *Coordinates: -28.788, 32.0997* Richards Bay is in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, the traditional homeland of the Zulu people on the Indian Ocean coast. Not surprisingly, most visitors are attracted here by interest in the Zulu culture and the indigenous wildlife of the region. Richards Bay offers Seabourn guests opportunities to experience both. The Zulu Nyala Private Game Reserve is one option, for an evening including a game ... ### Maputo, Mozambique *Coordinates: -25.9692, 32.5732* The interests of the Portuguese in Africa were the earliest of any European power. And the independence of Africa’s Lusophone colonies was invariably the most bitterly disputed during the revolutions of the mid-20th century. As elsewhere, the departing colonials took much of the value and the skills with them when they fled. Maputo has been slowly rebuilding itself into a city worthy of its settin... ### Durban, South Africa *Coordinates: -29.853, 31.0164* At its founding in 1835, the city was named in honor of the then Governor of the Cape, Sir Benjamin D'Urban. Sugar cane transformed Durban into a vital port city, and its attractive parks and meticulously groomed gardens continue to testify to the land's richness. Today, the city sprawls along the coast, its golden beaches hugging the ice-blue Indian Ocean. ### Port Elizabeth, South Africa *Coordinates: -33.9667, 25.5* Port Elizabeth is one of South Africa’s largest cities, (second in area and fifth in population), stretching 16 miles along the bay named “Algoa” by the Portuguese.

Today it is renowned as a playground on the Indian Ocean coast, the breezes attracting surfers and yachtsm... ### Mossel Bay, South Africa *Coordinates: -34.1833, 22.1333* South Africa’s Garden Route is among the world’s most attractive destinations, and Mossel Bay will welcome Seabourn guests to the heart of it.

The Diaz Museum Complex is named for Bartolomeu Diaz,... ### Cape Town, South Africa *Coordinates: -33.916, 18.4222* Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain and flanked by Devil's Peak and Lion's Head, Cape Town is known by South Africans simply as 'the Cape,' an acknowledgment of its uniqueness and its status as the Mother City. The first area to be settled by Europeans in the 17th century, it is today a major seaport and the legislative capital of South Africa. The feeling here is not African but cosmopolitan, a... ### Luderitz, Namibia *Coordinates: -26.6458, 15.1539* In 1883, a German businessman, Adolf Luderitz, purchased a parcel of land enclosing a small bay for purposes of speculation. The so-called Skeleton Coast had limited potential in many ways, being largely made up of the shifting sands of the Namib Desert. Then, in 1906, a local railway worker noticed an oddly sparkly stone beside the tracks. It proved to be a diamond, and it became clear that there... ### Walvis Bay, Namibia *Coordinates: -22.9551, 14.5203* Its name in Afrikaans means "Whale Bay," but those days are long gone. Today its dramatic setting is inseparable from any impression of this deep-water port on Namibia's desolate, but beautiful "Skeleton Coast."

Up the coast road is Dune Seven, the highest ... ### Luanda, Angola *Coordinates: -8.83833, 13.2344* Luanda looks to be booming. Development and construction is fueled by extractive industries such as petroleum and diamonds. However over half the city’s residents live in poverty. It has for several years dominated the chart of the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates, outstripping such notorious places as Hong Kong and London. Like the rest of Portugal’s African colonies, Angola won... ### Sao Tome, Sao Tome & Principe *Coordinates: 0.336767, 6.7278* ### Cotonou *Coordinates: 6.3505, 2.4332* Cotonou is a large port city on the south coast of Benin, in West Africa.

Despite the Parisian-style boulevards and buildings, however, there is a distinctly African feel to the city. Bankers and executives can be seen going about their businesses dressed in the flamboyant traditional Grand Boubou costume, and women wear t... ### Mindelo, Cape Verde The most important city on the Cape Verde island of São Vicente, Mindelo originally thrived as a coal depot for steamships plying the Atlantic. With the advent of diesel engines, its importance waned, although it is still an important port for the maritime trade. The island is volcanic, dry and mostly low. The town has replica of Lisbon’s Belem Tower, located near the fish market, in an interestin... ### Las Palmas, Spain *Coordinates: 28.1235, -15.4363* Las Palmas is a large Spanish city, which just happens to be on the island of Gran Canaria. That fact adds the exotic, slightly African and international flavor to the place. It played an important part in the early exploration and exploitation of Africa and the New World, some of which is recounted in the Casa de Colon Museum. Columbus may have slept there, but it was never his house. It was actu... ### Arrecife, Canary Islands *Coordinates: 28.9652, -13.555* Lanzarote is the northernmost of the Canary Islands, often known as "volcano island." Its capital is Arrecife, a quiet town of about 30,000 inhabitants.

Since then Casablanca has become a vast modern city, ever on the increase since Morocco's independence from France in 1... ### Tangier, Morocco Situated just across the narrow Strait of Gibraltar from Europe, Tangier has long comprised a hybrid culture that is nearly as European as it is African. Standing atop Cap Spartel, one can gaze down on the place where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. The “Hollywood” district where the foreign embassies have traditionally been located reflects the European influence. But ascending the hill abo... ### Cadiz (Seville), Spain *Coordinates: 36.5299, -6.29241* To taste the true flavor of this ancient port city, one should stroll its seaside promenade, pausing to rest beneath the huge banyan trees. The narrow, winding streets of the old town fan out from the port, leading you to sunny, palm-lined plazas. Visit the Catedral Nueva (New Cathedral), begun in the early 1800s but not completed for 116 years. Its dramatic, golden dome rises over a striking inte... ### Lisbon, Portugal *Coordinates: 38.7223, -9.13934* The great period of "the Discoveries" accounted for phenomenal wealth brought back from India, Africa and Brazil by the great Portuguese navigators.
