Let's start with:
HURTIGRUTEN
THIS SITE seems to list the majority of all the other small ships that go there.
As far as mass market ships I think the pickings will be very, very slim. The only one I found was Prinsendam from Holland-America. It was a 68-day circumnavigation of South America r/t from FLL starting at $13k pp for an Inside cabin. I also couldn't find anything from Princess Cruises that use to offer these types of cruises with one of their large ships like Star Princess.

The conventional Hurtigruten ships are not made for that. Fram seems to be nice but I do not know how she is operated. Personally, I would not choose them.

Ships like Prinsendam are for many reasons totally out of place down there.
Hapag Lloyd should be mentioned - they do a pretty good job. Also not ideal, but close.

Celebrity's 2013-14 winter season will be rife with opportunities for vacationers seeking experiences in trip-of-a-lifetime destinations. Cruises and cruisetours in South America will be offered on Celebrity Infinity, which was Solsticized last year as part of Celebrity's $140-million initiative to incorporate iconic Solstice Class elements into its Millennium Class ships. From the eclectic Qsine specialty restaurant to Celebrity's first AquaClass staterooms to be added to a Millennium Class ships, among other elements that were added, Celebrity Infinity will provide a luxurious setting from which to gaze upon the majestic landscapes of South America. There, she will offer 14-night cruises between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Valpraiso, Chile during December 2013 and January and March 2014.
Two 14-night Antarctica sailings roundtrip from Buenos Aires in February 2014 will offer breathtaking views as the ship sails around and through Paradise Bay, the Gerlache Strait, and Elephant Island.
Two Panama Canal sailings on each end of the season will also be offered, sailing eastbound between San Diego and Miami, Florida in November 2013 and April 2014, and westbound from Miami to San Diego in November 2013 and March 2014.
Celebrity's South America cruisetours can extend a vacation, thereby offering an even richer opportunity to relax and recharge, by pairing a fully escorted land-based tour with a cruise.
A Buenos Aires-based three-night pre- or post-cruise land tour to Iguazu Falls features one night in Buenos Aires and two nights in Iguazu Falls
A Valparaiso-based five-night pre- or post-cruise land tour to Machu Picchu features two nights in Urubamba, located in the Sacred Valley in Peru, with access to Machu Picchu, as well as two nights in Lima, Peru and one night in Santiago, Chile.
Guests who wish to have the ultimate modern luxury South America vacation experience can book one of these cruisetours for the start of their vacation and the other to take place after their cruise.
