Patagonia Cruises
Through the Channels & Fiords
Patagonia from the sea offers a unique perspective of virgin landscapes, raw nature and wildlife in its natural habitat. Therefore we offer the Australis ships from Punta Arenas and Ushuaia, that sail through and around the southern, Patagonian islands and fiords. Moreover, we also offer options to sail through fiords, channels and past islands of Chilean, Patagonia all along the southern, western archipeligo.
Therefore we work with the Skorpios ship from Puerto Natales, and Navimag ships from Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales. All are great options to add to your Torres del Paine or Patagonia itinerary. Above all, each option varies with regard to the size of ship, length of itinerary and comfort of cabins.
Please send us your request and we will help you choose.
Brief Introduction of What we Can do for You
Our Patagonian Cruise Partners
Most people have seen and heard about cruises around the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. However, have you heard about cruising around Patagonia? For example, being able to see from the outer deck; comfort of your cabin or from the on-board restaurant, the massive, blue-coloured millenial glaciers that come down from the southern Andes where they meet the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, navigate through an iceberg field. Also, being able to see penguins, dolphins, whales, sea lions just “living their lives” as you pass by slowly on your chosen ship. Above all, there are the native forests that cover the landscape and come down to the waters edge. In addition, you will be able to breath the pristine, unpolluted air that comes off the Pacific Ocean.
No, you will not, thank goodness, be docking at a popular tourist stop-off, no, but you will be serenely navigating historic waterways past virgin lands where, in many places, man has never set foot.
In conclusion, these Patagonia cruises offer a unique perspective of Patagonia and an opportunity to relax, enjoy, learn and make new friends. Therefore, if all of that sounds like something you would like to experience please take a look at the options further below, on this site.
There are three principal ship operators that navigate Patagonia from the sea.
The Australis
The crucero Australis, sails between Punta Arenas, in Chile to Ushuaia, in Argetina, and reverse. Most importantly, trips take in Cape Horn, Tierra del Fuego, the Beagle Channel, glaciers, bird life, marine mammals. Moreover, their ships are of a reasonable size to feel “cozy” offering nice, private cabins and zodiacs for local excursions and disembarkations to islands.
The Skorpios
This ship operator navigates from Puerto Natales – very useful if you are including Torres del Paine in your Patagonia itinerary, and take in the foirds and channels in the area west of Puerto Natales, departing and returning to the same port. However, they also operate a cruise from Puerto Natales and back, that visits the huge San Rafael Glacier in Chilean Patagonia.
The Navimag
This is primarily a ferry operator ship that transports cars, trucks and produce between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales, and reverse. However, they offer intrepid travellers accommodation on board in private and shared cabins, as well as cabins with private shower and WC, and others with shared shower and WC. During the navigation you will take in western Patagonia, from the perspective of the sea, sailing through the channels and fiords of the Chilean archipeligo. However, be aware that on this trip there are no zodiacs, but it does serve as a great way to get from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales, or reverse. Considering that the ship is primarily a ferry, it is not a “typical cruise” ship, but it offers adventure and a lower-cost cruise option through Patagonia, as well as a way to get closer to Torres del Paine or depart from TDP to Puerto Montt.
Our Offer
For the Australis cruises (min 4 nights), we run special offers whereby we will add on to the reservation a free hotel night in any city in Chile or Argentina at one of our hotel partners, or we may include the return flights Santiago to Punta Arenas instead. We may also include something else, dependng on what else we are booking for you.
Considering the other options such as the Skorpios and Navimag, we will see what we can include as an add-on at no cost, only once we know what else you need, and what we are handling for you.
In conclusion, we will not only make it financially benefitial for you if we handle your reservations, but we will be able to make all the logistical coordinations for the rest of your itinerary, and be here in the event that you have a problem during your trip in South America.
Please have a look around and ask us for any advice or help in making your choice. Most importantly, please remember that our sole objective is to create an exceptional travel experience for you, or your group and that is what counts.
