Itinerary

Itinerary
Buenos Aires
Just like its proud and diverse community of porteños, or “people of the ports,” Buenos Aires... more+ is a sensual blend of European splendor and Latin American flair. A night in Buenos Aires is the perfect starting point for your adventure.

There’s plenty to do, from the many parrillas serving authentic Argentine steaks to tango lessons.

And if you’re up for it, you could arrive a few days early to explore the city. 
Breakfast

Buenos Aires Ushuaia
The day starts early so we can make it to the airport for our flight to Ushuaia. Set against a... more+ backdrop of snow-capped mountains, Ushuaia holds the title of the world’s southernmost city.

The ship is waiting for you at the port. Pick up your complimentary expedition jacket and meet the expedition team, then take some time to settle in and explore the ship before enjoying your first meal on board. Your adventure begins here! 
Accommodation: Night on board
Breakfast
Lunch

Ushuaia Garibaldi
Our goal for the day: a scenic cruise through Garibaldi Fjord, located in Alberto de Agostini... more+ National Park, to reach the glacier of the same name. Here, the Andes plunge into the Pacific, and massive glaciers pour their ice into the magnificent fjord.

The region is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve: its teeming waters are home to seals, sea lions, and numerous seabirds, including the impressive Andean condor.

Weather permitting, we’ll reach the Garibaldi Glacier at the head of the fjord, one of the most impressive in Chile. 
Accommodation: Night on board
Breakfast

Garibaldi Ainsworth Bay
The exploration of Alberto de Agostini National Park continues through the Almirantazgo Strait and... more+ its towering mountain peaks, leading to Ainsworth Bay, a coastal inlet fed by the Marinelli Glacier, a retreating glacier.
There, you’ll discover the effects of glacial meltwater on local ecosystems and wildlife—a phenomenon observed throughout the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
If sea and weather conditions permit, we’ll explore the bay in our small expedition boats.

Ainsworth Bay Chilean Fjords
As we sail up the Chilean coast, attend lectures by the expedition team on pre-Columbian history,... more+ the geology of the surrounding regions, and the folklore of local communities.
Savor the serenity and beauty of this labyrinth of fjords, surrounded by islands, glaciers, and rugged mountains. And keep your eyes peeled, as elephant seals, dolphins, and whales often follow the ship.
You can count on our professional photographer on board to help you capture great photos of the wildlife and scenery.
The next day, depending on the tide, we’ll sail through the White Narrows to Puerto Natales. Less than 100 meters wide in places, this waterway—nestled between islets and steep rocky cliffs—is navigable only at low tide and during daylight hours.
On deck, you’ll be able to admire some of the continent’s most beautiful scenery as your captain skillfully maneuvers through these famous channels.

The next day, tide permitting, we’ll visit Puerto Edén, an enchanting village accessible only by sea. Its 250 residents are among the last members of the Kawésqar indigenous people, proud representatives of Patagonian culture.
Otherwise, we’ll spend the day sailing through the majestic fjords, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and local wildlife. If the weather permits, we may take the opportunity to launch our expedition boats. Who knows what adventures await us!
