Travellers can discover the highlights of Central and South America in November and December this year on three action-packed Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ expeditions aboard HANSEATIC inspiration.

The first itinerary, the 11-day Oh, how beautiful is the Panama Canal, will depart Panama City on 8 November and includes a day passage through the world-famous Panama Canal before discovering the animal kingdoms, volcanic landscapes and idyllic islands of Central America.

The 16-day Mysterious Equator Adventure, HANSEATIC inspiration’s second voyage, will take guests along the Pacific coast of South America through five countries – Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. It also features a day trip through the Panama Canal, adventurous Zodiac landings in remote locations, and encounters with the rainforest’s indigenous people.

Finally, the 15-day Great Nature, Small People itinerary through the Chilean Fjords will see HANSEATIC inspiration discover the glaciers and national parks of Patagonia.
