Patagonia Cruises

Around the Channels and Fiords

Patagonia Cruises Introduction

Above all, Patagonia Cruises offer a unique opportunity to explore Patagonia from the sea. If you look at a map of the southern tip of South America you will see that on its western side there are thousands of islands, channels, inlets and fiords. Moreover, only the Pacific Ocean; and the Atlantic Ocean around Cape Horn, are able to penetrate between these land masses. Consequently, if you are aboard a ship that navigates these waters you will have a unique opportunity to see and experience some of the remotest places on Earth where time has stood still since Patagonia was created.

The Ships that Navigate the Patagonian Seas

Further below, we will introduce you to the different ship operators that navigate the Patagonian waters.

Freedom of Being on a Ship

As a matter of fact, on board a ship in these parts, you can witness millennial ice coming down from the Andes and breaking into icebergs that float effortlessly on the still waters of a Pacific-filled lagoon. In addition, there are birds, sea mammals and other creatures that go about their natural life with no interference from man (apart from you, the tourist, now watching them).

Patagonia Cruises Raw Nature

Above all, Patagonia from the sea offers a unique perspective of virgin landscapes, raw nature and wildlife in its natural habitat. However, the BEST option is if you are able to combine both a Patagonian land and sea experience together!

Patagonia Cruises in and Around Southern Patagonia

Hugging the entire Southern Patagonia land mass is the maritime area between Punta Arenas in Chile and Ushuaia in Argentina. This is the area encompassing the large Tierra del Fuego Island, Isla Navarino and Cape Horn.

This sector is handled by the Australis Ships that navigate between Ushuaia and Punta Arenas, with embarkation in both ports. In addition, weather permitting, the route will land passengers at the fabled Cape Horn rock and light house!

Please send us your request and we will help you choose.

Patagonia Cruises in the Patagonian sector around Torres del Paine National Park

In the event that you are visiting Torres del Paine Nataional Park, and want to also experience a cruise, Skorpios is the answer. With sailings from Puerto Natales, the ship is a small size, therefore offering a personal, onboard atmosphere. The route takes in the fiords and channels just north of Puerto Natales and will showcase a number of impressive glaciers that come down off the Southern Ice Shelf.

Experience Chile can add in a Skorpios cruise pre or post Torres del Paine.

Patagonia Cruises Western Patagonia

Above all, is the sector between Puerto Montt, located on the southern edge of the Chilean Lake Region, down to Puerto Natales. It should be noted that Puerto Natales is almost “next door” to Torres del Paine National Park.

The Navimag ship company operates a ferry that navigates the waters between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales, and vice versa. Therefore, this is an ideal logistical option to travel from either port thus avoid the need to fly. In addition, as this ship is principally a ferry service, but with cabins for passengers, the cost is lot less than one of the other cruise ships. The route will take in a number of fiords and inlets, and skirt around islands as it sails along through the Patagonian archipelago.
