Sail Patagonia's wildest fjords to Cape Horn
4 nights all-inclusive aboard the Ventus Australis or Stella Australis, sailing between Punta Arenas, Chile and Ushuaia, Argentina — through glaciers, fjords and the end of the continent. Choose either direction.
The experience
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. Every day you go ashore by Zodiac at places with no jetties and no infrastructure, led by a team of expedition guides.
-
Cape Horn, weather permitting
We sail to the end of the continent. Landing depends entirely on sea and wind, and when it happens, it's one of the most memorable in Patagonia.
-
Glaciers of the Darwin range
Landings at Pía, Garibaldi, Águila and Cóndor glaciers, by foot and by Zodiac, plus Ainsworth Bay and the Tuckers Islets.
-
Magdalena Island penguins
A landing at the Magellanic penguin colony near Punta Arenas, on departure or arrival depending on your route.
