Patagonian Explorer – Australis
Five days sailing from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas through the far reaches of Tierra del Fuego.
An expedition journey through one of the continent’s most remote landscapes, where forests, glaciers and southern channels set the rhythm of the voyage.
The experience
Aboard Australis, the voyage moves deep into the channels at the southern tip of South America over five days and four nights. The itinerary combines daily Zodiac expeditions and guided walks ashore with views of glaciers, subantarctic forests and remote coastlines. Highlights include Cape Horn, Wulaia Bay, glaciers such as Pía and Porter and, depending on itinerary and conditions, Magdalena Island. The experience is all inclusive and designed to reveal a Patagonia inaccessible by road, complemented by onboard presentations that add context to the landscapes.
