Itinerary

Check-in
in Ushuaia

Between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, we will complete the check-in to embark at 6:00 PM.

After boarding, we will gather on the fifth deck for a welcome toast and to meet the Captain and crew. The ship will then set sail towards the southernmost point.

Through the legendary Beagle Channel and the Strait of Magellan, we will journey deep into Patagonia and the channels of Tierra del Fuego.

Cape Horn
and Wulaia Bay

We will sail through the Murray Channel and Nassau Bay, arriving at Cape Horn National Park, where we will disembark, weather permitting, to experience the magic of walking on one of the southernmost points in the world, surrounded by charm and legends.

In the afternoon, we will disembark at Wulaia Bay, a historic site that was once one of the largest settlements of the Yámana canoeing natives. We will hike to a viewpoint, walking through the Magellanic forest where lengas, coigües, canelos, and ferns grow, among other species.

Pía Glacier
and Porter Glacier

In the morning, we will sail through the northwest arm of the Beagle Channel to enter and disembark at Pía Fjord. 

We will take an excursion to the viewpoint from where we can observe the namesake glacier, whose main tongue extends from the high mountain range down to the sea.

In the afternoon, we will embark on a Zodiac boat excursion without disembarking. 

We will navigate between towering rocky walls, leading us to the magnificent Porter Glacier, where we will be able to admire it up close.

Águila Glacier
and Cóndor Glacier

In the morning, we will sail through Cockburn Channel to enter Agostini Sound, where it will be possible to appreciate the glaciers descending from the center of the Darwin Range, with some reaching the sea.

After breakfast, we will disembark in Zodiac boats to take a gentle walk around a lagoon formed by the melting of the Águila Glacier, where we will come face to face with it. In the afternoon, we will embark on a Zodiac boat excursion, remaining on the boats, to get a privileged view of the Cóndor Glacier. We will learn about the formation of glaciers and their influence on the rugged geography of the Fuegian channels.

Magdalena Island
and Punta Arenas

Early in the morning, we will disembark at Magdalena Island, weather permitting. On the island, we will be able to observe a colony of Magellanic penguins.

In September and April, this excursion is replaced by a landing at Marta Island, where South American sea lions can be spotted from the Zodiac boats. Finally, we will arrive in Punta Arenas, disembarking at approximately 12:30 PM.
