Four nights all-inclusive from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia, through the southern channels, from the Strait of Magellan to the Beagle Channel.

There is a part of Patagonia no road reaches. The southern channels, the fjords of the Darwin range and the Cape Horn archipelago can only be seen by sea, and this four-night cruise is how you do it.
You sail aboard the Ventus Australis or the Stella Australis, ships built for these waters. Each day you go ashore by Zodiac at places with no jetties and no infrastructure: beaches, glaciers, forests and colonies of southern wildlife. A team of expedition guides leads every landing.
The service is all-inclusive: cabin accommodation, full board, all excursions and an open bar throughout the voyage.
All excursions are subject to weather and sea conditions. Down here the weather decides, and the captain determines on the day which landings are possible.
Passengers are responsible for carrying all documentation required to embark and disembark in both Chile and Argentina.
Also available as an 8-night round trip: please ask.
Rate per person based on double occupancy, low season, port charges included.

Itinerary

Boarding

Boarding at 6:00 p.m. and departure into the southern channels.

Landings

Landing at Ainsworth Bay, in Almirantazgo Sound, and a trip out to the Tuckers Islets. In September and April this excursion is replaced by Brookes Glacier.

Glaciers

Landing in front of Pía Glacier and sailing through Glacier Alley, along the northwest arm of the Beagle Channel.

Cape Horn

We sail to the end of the continent. Landing at Cape Horn depends entirely on sea and wind conditions and is decided on the day: when it happens, it is one of the hardest and most memorable landings in Patagonia. In the afternoon, a landing at Wulaia Bay.

Disembarkation

Disembarkation at 8:30 a.m. in Ushuaia, Argentina.
