Sail to Sensational Southern Hemisphere

Ready to explore the end of the earth? It all begins in the port of San Antonio, the gateway to Chile’s energetic capital of Santiago. After a day at sea, enjoy a late stay in Puerto Montt in the Chilean Lake District before departing for Castro. Next, it’s off to Puerto Chacabuco—a small town in northeastern Chilean Patagonia—ahead of spending two days at sea, cruising through the steep, dramatic shores of the Chilean Fjords. Your next stop is an overnight in Punta Arenas, perched on the western side of the Strait of Magellan. Then, we cruise the Beagle Channel—a 149-mile-long remote wonderland that borders Argentina and Chile. From there, we travel to Ushuaia, located at the tip of Argentina, for a late stay. From here, it’s a relaxed night at sea before we spend five incredible days cruising the breathtaking Antarctic Sound, past the ice-covered Elephant Island. Arrive at the remote, windswept Falkland Islands and their tiny capital of Port Stanley for the day before another restful night at sea. Travel to the Argentinian port of Puerto Madryn for a day of discovery. Then, after another night at sea, find yourself in Montevideo, Uruguay, for an overnight stay before this Southern Journey concludes in beautiful Buenos Aires.
