Calls include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the Falkland Islands and Uruguay.
Head of destination experience and itinerary planning Martin Lister said: “In just one sailing, guests can witness Antarctica’s rugged, icy coastline, admire the many thundering waterfalls in Unesco-listed Iguazu National Park and cruise amongst the towering mountainous landscape of the Patagonian fjords in Chile.
“This itinerary also offers some exceptional opportunities to spot native wildlife.
“Guests will also have the chance to visit the Galapagos Islands and discover the vast range of wildlife found there, on an extended tour from Ecuador.
“Balmoral’s smaller size also allows us to call into some fantastic ports, from Havana in Cuba and Hamilton in Bermuda, meaning explorations can start right at the end of the gangway.”
