Chile cruise
Most cruises start in Ushuaia, Argentina then on to Cape Horn, Drake Passage, Antarctica, and finally disembarking in Punta Arenas. Starting in South America’s southernmost city, the ‘end of the world,’ Ushuaia, is a charming waterfront city with a rich culture. You can explore the trails of Tierra del Fuego National Park and see the first of many spectacular landscapes around the Beagle Channel. Your journey ends at the rich historic and cultural centre of Punta Arenas, a Patagonian city. Further opportunities to explore are available. Consider day trips to Torres del Paine National Park, the historic town of Puerto Natales or travel through the Magellan Strait: Enjoy stunning views of the strait and surrounding landscapes.

Once aboard the ship, most cruises start sailing towards Cape Horn. Cape Horn is a significant milestone for sailors. This infamous sea passage is known for its treacherous waters and dramatic cliffs. Passengers may get the chance to see the Cape Horn National Park and take in the stunning views from the ship. The journey continues on to Drake’s passage, this stretch of water is known for its rough seas, but crossing it is a rite of passage for Antarctic explorers! Learn about the history of polar exploration as you cross the notorious seas of the Passage. It is also a wildlife spotters dream; search for seabirds like albatrosses and petrels, and possibly see whales in the waters.
Finally you will reach Antarctica, with towering icebergs, glaciers, and immerse yourself in the surreal beauty of the Antarctic wilderness. The Antarctic Peninsula is where you'll enjoy guided landings, wildlife observation, and possible activities like kayaking or hiking. See penguins, seals, and various seabirds in their natural habitat and get the chance to explore remote bays in smaller boats to get up close to ice formations and wildlife. Knowledgeable guides often lead excursions and share insights about the ecosystem and research being conducted on the continent.
