We had a great time away on Majestic and cannot thank Iglu enough for the brilliant service they provided in our booking. It was wonderful being treated as royalty as we arrived at Quebec, taken to our Hotel for 2 nights, then being taken from the Hotel to the Ship. Even the taxi that collected us at Fort Lauderdale was good, despite the awful set up that the port had for passengers coming out of the port and having queue's of people for the coaches, standing in the way of the taxis.

As first time cruisers a bit more explanation on procedures on board would have been welcome. We were invited to a meet the staff event, but at 9. 15am meant either getting up at crack of dawn or early breakfast, so not vey user friendly. Thought it pretty bad that many guests were not making use of wash/hand sanitisers before entering dining room which is where we believe we picked up some kind of bug that ruined the second half of our cruise.

In the heart of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, this port is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, boasting sensational sightseeing opportunities for everyone who travels here. From vibrant coastal forests and dramatic waterfalls to stunning glaciers and unique polar wildlife, Ushuaia really is somewhere where you’ll be able to bask in the sheer beauty of nature, and soak up some sensational panoramic views from the vantage points found here. This city, though, while being famous for being (arguably) the most southernmost city in the entire world, is also something of a gateway to Antarctica and the smaller islands that make up the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. So, despite being rather quaint in comparison to other Argentinian cities and South American holiday hotspots, what you’re met with in Ushuaia is just a taste of what’s to come – if you’re continuing onto Antarctica, anyway. That doesn’t mean you should be too eager to leave Ushuaia, though, as this port of call does offer a lot more than just breathtaking natural beauty. Ushuaia is also home to a unique collection of museums and some fantastic food; so, while the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the region is a major highlight, this is one destination that will prove to be just as memorable as everything else on your itinerary.
Things to do in Ushuaia:
Tierra del Fuego National Park
An expansive national park that protects nearly 70,000 hectares of land, the Tierra del Fuego National Park combines marine areas, forests, and mountains to create a truly fascinating place worth exploring if you have the time while visiting Ushuaia. Here, you’ll find everything from luscious woodland and tumbling waterfalls to dramatic mountains and serene lakes. Throughout, you’ll also find evidence of the Yámanas, the first inhabitants of these lands, which serves to remind everyone who spends some time here that this region has been inhabited for more than 10,000 years. With so much to see, this is easily the best place to visit if you’re looking to switch off and embrace the great outdoors.
Museo del Fin del Mundo
If you want to learn more about the city of Ushuaia, Museo del fin del Mundo is the perfect place to go. A living heritage museum that explores the history and culture of Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the End of the World Museum (which is its name in English) is home to numerous exhibitions that explore the native history of this region, the local fauna and flora, the traditions and customs of the people here, and even some of the shipwrecks that have happened here over the centuries. Found in parts of the National Bank building and Old Government House, these impressive buildings only serve to highlight the importance of the museum and its contents.
Museo de la Ciudad
Also known as Casa Pena, this former private residence has served as the City Museum in Ushuaia since 2009; with an interesting selection of informative exhibits and historic items, this museum offers visitors a fantastic insight into what ordinary life was like in this city throughout the 20th century – which is when it was originally occupied by the Pena family.

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands
DAY 21
05 Feb 2027
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 5:30 PM
Also known as Stanley, Port Stanley is the capital city of the Falkland Islands and a charming destination to visit during cruises through the South Atlantic Ocean and beyond. Home to roughly 70% of the Falkland Islands’ population, Port Stanley is the place to be if you’re looking to immerse yourself in this archipelago’s unique culture. Without an indigenous population, you’ll find that much of the culture and cuisine in Port Stanley is an amalgamation of British culture and cuisine, with influences from nearby nations, such as Argentina. So, Port Stanley is often described as feeling somewhat similar to a small English or Scottish town – a home away from home, of sorts. However, although exploring the quaint city centre is a fantastic way to spend your time, Port Stanley is also a great starting point for adventures further inland and along the coast. With the chance to enjoy guided nature walks, wildlife spotting, and experiences that invite you to explore this island’s tumultuous history, there’s something for everyone to enjoy here – whether you’re looking to sit and enjoy a freshly-poured pint in one of the local pubs, spot some penguins in their natural habitat, or admire the stunning landscapes found here.
Things to do in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands:
Falkland Islands Museum
Located in the historic dockyard of Port Stanley, the Falkland Islands Museum boasts a comprehensive collection of artefacts and historic items that explore the natural and cultural history of this archipelago. If you want to know more about the Falkland Islands, this is one of the best places in the world to spend some time. You’ll also find an interactive room that explores the stories of Falkland Islands residents during the Falklands War in 1982, highlighting the real impact of this conflict, as well as an area dedicated to the region’s maritime history.
Government House
Built in 1845, Government House is the home of the Falkland Islands’ governors and one of the most important landmarks in Port Stanley. Alongside being somewhere where Ernest Shackleton stayed during his famous Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in the 1910s, and home to one of the world’s southernmost grape vines, Government House was also the site of a major battle during the 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands, an event that kicked off the Falklands War, and where the surrender was ultimately issued.
Yorke Bay
Roughly four miles northeast of Port Stanley, Yorke Bay is a stunning destination to visit when spending some time in the Falkland Islands’ capital. Known internationally as a breeding ground for Magellanic penguins, a threatened species also found along the coast of Argentina and Chile, this is a fantastic place to see these incredible birds in their natural habitat. Interestingly, much of this area serves as an unplanned wildlife refuge, with Yorke Bay among several areas of coastline that were heavily mined during the Falklands War, making them unsafe for visitors. The island is free of landmines now, though, and you’ll be able to observe the wildlife and admire the stunning scenery of Yorke Bay from a safe distance.

Time at Port: from 7 AM to 6 PM
Located on the north-eastern bank of the Rio de la Plata, Montevideo is the capital city of Uruguay and a modern metropolis with a difference. Boasting stunning European art deco-style architecture, a hangover from this region’s colonial past, Montevideo is home to an expansive beach promenade and a South American atmosphere to match. Here, you’ll find the Rambla, a riverfront avenue that’s one of the world’s longest continuous sidewalks – which just highlights how perfect Montevideo is if you’re looking to take a laid-back wander here. Beyond this, though, if you’re looking for a little more action, you’ll find a bustling marketplace in Mercado del Puerto, intriguing exhibitions in the Andes Museum and Museo El Juguetero (just two of the several incredible museums and galleries in Montevideo), and fantastic food everywhere you turn. With all the modern comforts of a capital city, but a relaxed atmosphere that lets you savour the little things, a visit to this metropolis is worth looking forward to.
Things to do in Montevideo:
Legislative Palace of Uruguay
A monumental example of neo-classical architecture in the heart of Montevideo, the Legislative Palace of Uruguay acts as the meeting place of the General Assembly of Uruguay, the seat of the legislative branch of the Uruguayan government, and a remarkable landmark to see when you visit. Built between 1904 and 1925, it was constructed to commemorate 100 years of Uruguayan independence.
Obelisk of Montevideo
Built in 1930 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first Constitution of Uruguay as a homage to the original members of the General Assembly, this three-sided structure stretches 40 metres up and is flanked by three bronze structures representing Law, Liberty, and Force. In 1983, it was the site of Rio de Libertad – the nation’s largest demonstration ever, demanding an end to the civil-military dictatorship in place at the time.
Palacio Salvo
Standing 95 metres tall, this stunning structure takes advantage of eclectic architectural designs to deliver one of the most remarkable buildings in Montevideo. Built with the intention of being a hotel in 1928, it’s now a mixture of private residences and office spaces – though tours of the building are available at select times during the day.

Kicking things off, though, you’ll enjoy lunch at an authentic Peruvian restaurant, an experience that will offer you invaluable insight into the cuisine and traditional cooking techniques of this fascinating region. Once done, you’ll continue to the staggering Salt Mines of Maras – an impressive hillside home to thousands of glistening salt-water pools where solar evaporation techniques are still used to gather fresh salt by local families. Following this, while you’re in the area, you’ll also journey to Moray – which is a short distance from the Salt Mines of Maras. This Incan ruin is believed to be an open-air agricultural lab used for adapting crops to different environmental conditions. The remarkable concentric circular depressions stretch approximately 30 m deep, and it’s one of the most interesting sights you’ll see in the Peruvian mountains. Offering you an intimate insight into rural Peru and how Incan techniques and practices still survive today, this tour will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
Things to see:
Flavourful Peruvian Cuisine
Peruvian cuisine is one of a kind and something worth looking forward to enjoying; with dishes often a fusion of traditional staples like corn and potatoes with influences from African, Spanish, and Chinese immigrants, you can expect to enjoy a vibrant variety of flavourful foods and dishes, with everything from fresh raw fish dishes and creamy chicken stews to stir-fried food and more.
Salt Mines of Maras
With over 3,000 ponds collectively connected by a remarkable network of underground canals that fill each one with salt water, this impressive mine still produces salt using the same solar evaporation methods used during the height of the Inca Empire.
Moray
This interesting archaeological site is home to Incan ruins believed to be – at least, in part – an open-air agricultural lab used to adapt crops to the differing environment of the Peruvian landscape; with the lowest point of this site roughly 30 m deep, the temperature can differentiate by as much as five degrees in the centre.

Ollantaytambo Tour
DAY 28
Time at Port: TBD
This exciting tour will take you to the remarkable Incan ruins of Ollantaytambo, where you’ll have the chance to explore the surviving temples and terraces of this unique site, learning more about what life was like in the Sacred Valley hundreds of years ago. During the Spanish conquest of Peru through 1532 to 1572, the town of Ollantaytambo was something of a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui – a leader of the Incan resistance. However, the surviving ruins in Ollantaytambo are far from military instalments. Rather, you’ll find ceremonial structures and temples alongside the terraces of Pumatallis. Interestingly, Temple Hill is commonly referred to as The Fortress, but it’s believed that this was primarily a religious site. In any case, a tour around Ollantaytambo promises to be an interesting one; while exploring this unique site, you’ll learn more about Incan life in the 16th century alongside the significance of Ollantaytambo and why it was chosen as a stronghold against the Spanish.
Things to see:
Temple of the Sun
Often referred to as the Fortress, this intriguing Incan temple in Ollantaytambo is known for the Wall of Six Monoliths – a series of stones weighing over 50 tons that originate from an entirely different mountain on the opposite side of the Sacred Valley region; this relocation, without known heavy machinery, is a mystery stumping archaeologists to this day.
Terrace of the Ten Niches
An impressive row of terraces, where the entire wall is made from two solid stone canvases, forming an incomplete enclosure that was largely demolished during colonial conquest centuries ago.
Sacred Valley of the Incas
Cutting through the Peruvian Andes, from Pisac to Ollantaytambo, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is a stunning example of this region’s sensational natural beauty and an important part of the ancient history found here. First utilised by the Chanapata civilisation around 800 BC, then by the Qotocalla civilisation and Killke civilisation, before being adopted into the Incan Empire by 1420, there’s an abundance of fascinating history to learn about this region. However, taking some time to admire the dramatic mountainous landscapes here is also a fantastic use of your time; forged by the flow of the Urubamba River, this wide valley is a jaw-dropping sight to behold.

Machu Picchu Tour
DAY 28
Time at Port: TBD
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is one of the largest ruins in Peru and a bucket list destination you’ll have the chance to explore with this exciting tour. Known as the Lost City of the Incas, this impressive citadel sits above the Sacred Valley, overlooking the stunningly beautiful Choquequirao Regional Conservation Area. During this tour, you’ll have the chance to explore some of the remarkable surviving structures scattered across this mountaintop – of which includes the Sun Temple, the Royal Tomb, and the iconic stepped terraces. The settlement itself is believed to be founded around 1450 before being abandoned by the Incan people in the mid-16th century, which was then left ‘unfound’ until American explorer Hiram Bingham rediscovered the site in 1911. Through this guided tour, you’ll experience the true uniqueness of this location and the near-inexplicable genius of its construction, both of which make this one of the most impressive places in the world. Somewhere that really has to be seen to be believed, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity you’ll relish in and remember for years to come.
Things to see:
Aguas Calientes
Below the ruins, along the Urubamba River, Aguas Calientes acts as the modern town of Machu Picchu; while you’ll find a variety of fantastic tourist attractions here, this town also offers you stunning views of the mountainous region from below.
Temple of the Three Windows
Found in the ‘urban sector’ of Machu Picchu, this impressive structure is famed for its large surviving walls and wide windows – through which the sun would shine and illuminate the Sacred Plaza beyond the outer wall of this temple.
Intihuatana
Thought to have been built around 1450, this remarkable ritual stone – which was carved directly into the bedrock of the mountain’s summit – is believed to have been associated with the astronomic calendar used by the Inca; with so many Intihuatana destroyed by Viceroy Francisco de Toledo and his clergy during the Spanish conquest of Peru, this remains one of the last surviving examples of these mysterious stone carvings.

Fortress of Sacsayhuaman
Sitting atop a steep hill overlooking Cusco, this impressive Incan citadel has surviving walls built from megalithic stones that would have been carefully carved beforehand to fit tightly together without the need for mortar – making the remaining ruins an even more impressive sight to see.
Q’enco Archaeological Complex
One of the largest surviving Incan holy places in the Cusco region, this ruin is built into the natural rock formations of the area and believed to be a site of ritual sacrifice and mummification.
Puka Pukara Archaeological Complex
A fascinating example of a military installation that seemingly doubled as an administrative centre for the region, this impressive Incan ruin features unique, haphazardly constructed walls that suggest it was initially constructed in a hurry on the hilltop.
Tambomachay
This unique Incan ruin is home to a series of aqueducts and waterfalls, some of which still provide clean water to the area today, and several structures that appear to be bath houses; interestingly, it’s still debated whether this site was an imperial bathhouse for all, a resort for the political elite, or a site of religious importance where sacrifices were made.
