Chip’s Notes

This is a great way to cross the Atlantic and enjoy relaxing in comfort. These ships are very comfortable, but far smaller than the giant Princess and Disney Spend all your time alone reading, or meet the fascinating and well-traveled passengers. Enjoy the great food and amenities while surrounded by the planet’s second largest ocean for 21 days. You can read the full details of our excursion in the Vagabond Journal beginning with departure day (540) from Montevideo. And if you are traveling on a ship that is repositioning itself as this one was, prices are significantly lowered there are fewer passengers.
