  • The fjords of the far south of Chile are some of the most spectacular in the world.
  • Looming like a colossal river, frozen in the icy hold of time - the first time you set eyes on the Garibaldi Glacier will live with you forever, sending shivers down your spine that have absolutely nothing to do with the fjord weather's chill.
  • The capital of Chile’s Chiloe Island, Castro is big, bright, and boisterous. Colourful wooden huts (called palafitos) teeter on stilts over the city’s waterfront, inviting you into a slice of life that’s sure to brighten any day.

Embark on an unforgettable journey as we set sail on a breathtaking voyage from the vibrant port city of Valparaíso all the way to the southernmost settlement in the world, Puerto Williams. Your adventure begins with a tranquil day at sea—perfect for unwinding, soaking in panoramic ocean views, and anticipating the incredible destinations ahead.

Our first stops take you to the charming coastal town of Niebla and the enchanting island of Chiloé, where you’ll explore the colourful stilt houses and rich traditions of Castro. With time to relax and rejuvenate on board, you’ll then journey deeper into Chile’s wild, untouched regions, arriving at the isolated village of Caleta Tortel. This remote settlement, built entirely on stilted walkways over the water, offers a rare glimpse into a way of life shaped by nature and seclusion.

As the ship glides into the awe-inspiring Chilean fjords, you’ll be surrounded by towering cliffs, dense forests, and icy blue waters that mirror the sky. Here, the landscape transforms into a dramatic stage of colossal glaciers and majestic, snow-capped peaks. Keep your eyes peeled for the incredible array of wildlife that thrives in this pristine environment—from playful dolphins and lounging seals to colonies of penguins and soaring seabirds.

Sail onward to the spectacular Garibaldi Fjord, where the imposing Garibaldi Glacier tumbles into the sea, offering one of the most powerful and humbling sights in the region. Finally, your cruise culminates in the historic port of Ushuaia, known as the “End of the World,” where the beauty of Patagonia leaves a lasting impression and the memories of this extraordinary voyage are sure to endure.
