Patagonia Cruises

One of the best Patagonia cruises is the Australis cruise between Ushuaia in Chile and Punta Arenas in Chile. This is a great way to link the two countries and a highlight of any trip to Patagonia you’ll round Cape Horn, the most southern point of South America, and explore fjords and stunning scenery along the way.

In Chile, there are several excellent Patagonia cruises including the Skorpios cruises which navigate the intricate and beautiful network of channels and fjords on a Chilean Patagonia cruise. There are two different routes, one starting from Puerto Natales and the other from Puerto Montt – both take in glaciers and have regular land excursions.

Cruise Patagonia’s Waters, See Penguins, & More

There are several highlights off the coast of Argentina to visit: go whale watching near the Valdes Peninsula, have tea in the Welsh community of Gaiman, spot penguin colonies, and explore the Tierra del Fuego National Park in Ushuaia.

This depends a lot on the ship, itinerary and cabin type you choose, but expect upwards of about US$600 per day including meals and excursions.
