Your adventure begins in Ushuaia, where you’ll meet your fellow travellers and the expeditions team.
Embarkation day offers free time to explore Ushuaia before boarding the ship in the afternoon. For those joining the Beagle Channel cruise, a scenic catamaran ride provides stunning views of the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, sea lion colonies, and surrounding wildlife.
The next few days will take you through dramatic landscapes, including Cape Horn, a region historically feared by sailors. Continuing on, you'll visit the Beagle Channel, following the path that inspired Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theories, and Glacier Alley, where towering glaciers spill into the sea.
As you travel further, you’ll explore the remote Francisco Coloane Marine Reserve, famous for its humpback whales, and the Chilean fjords, where nature’s raw beauty is on full display. The adventure also includes hikes through Torres del Paine National Park, offering breathtaking views of glaciers and wildlife, before concluding in Puerto Montt.
