Paramount Cruises’ Exclusive Cruise and Stay Holidays
To celebrate the launch of these sought after itineraries, Paramount Cruises has created a brand new collection of Cruise and Stay holidays for 2027 and 2028. These packages pair Holland America Line’s premium cruising with hand picked hotel stays in two of South America’s most iconic cities.
Stay in Santiago
Enjoy time in Chile’s cosmopolitan capital before boarding your cruise and experience a city where modern culture meets dramatic natural landscapes. Santiago is one of South America’s most exciting destinations and the perfect start to your holiday. Wander through vibrant neighbourhoods such as Bellavista and Lastarria, packed with artisan shops, colourful street art, and lively café terraces. Food lovers can enjoy world class restaurants, innovative Chilean cuisine, and the famous Central Market, known for its fresh seafood and local flavours. With the Andes Mountains framing the skyline, Santiago offers unforgettable viewpoints, from the summit of San Cristóbal Hill to sky high rooftop bars. Whether you want culture, cuisine, or scenic landscapes, Santiago sets the tone for an unforgettable South America adventure.
Stay in Buenos Aires
Extend your adventure in Buenos Aires, the energetic capital of Argentina and a destination filled with European style architecture, leafy boulevards, and rich cultural heritage. Known as the home of tango, Buenos Aires offers a mix of old world elegance and modern flair. Explore iconic districts such as Recoleta, San Telmo, and Palermo, each offering something unique, from antique markets to contemporary art galleries and boutique shopping.
Food plays a major role in the city’s identity and your stay would not be complete without sampling Argentina’s world famous steak houses, locally produced Malbec, and traditional cafés serving dulce de leche filled pastries. As evening arrives, the city comes alive with live music, tango shows, and a thriving arts scene that spans theatres, dance halls, and intimate bars.
A stay in Buenos Aires gives you time to soak up the city’s culture at a relaxed pace before or after your cruise, creating a perfect blend of land and sea that enhances your South America holiday even further.
Each holiday includes
• Premium hotel stays in Santiago or Buenos Aires
