Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile

Begin your adventure in this vibrant hilltop city. Your expedition ship awaits you in Valparaiso, the "Jewel of the Pacific". Built on steep hillsides overlooking the ocean, this UNESCO World Heritage-listed city is well worth your time. Filled with attractions, the city is an exhilarating maze of winding alleyways, colorful houses, and mercados packed with local produce. Why not take it all in on a funicular ride up to cerros Alegre and Concepcion? If you'd like to explore more of Valparaiso, you can join one of the optional Pre-Programs.

At Sea

Sail south along the Peruvian trench. Prepare for the adventures ahead as we spend a day at sea cruising south. Take the opportunity to get to know your ship better, perhaps trying out some of its facilities such as the hot tubs or sauna. There will also be lectures to attend and new friends to be made. Our journey takes us through the rich waters of the Humboldt Current as we pass over the Peruvian Trench-a tectonically active, 5,000-foot-deep gouge in the sea floor. The deep water and swift-moving currents bring a variety of wildlife to the area. Your Expedition Team will tell you more about the Humboldt Current's importance to the marine ecosystem and help you spot birdlife, like Peruvian boobies, brown boobies, and various species of whales. ...

Niebla, Spain

Explore Spanish fortresses and lively markets. We'll go ashore at the pretty seaside town of Niebla, which is set on a picturesque peninsula with views of Corral Bay on one side and the Valdivia River on the other. Take a stroll on the wide sandy beach and, if the Feria Costumbrista market is on, you may want to sample some traditional snacks, such as empanadas, anticuchos, and churros. Aside from the town itself, the ruins of the old Spanish fort and its associated museum are well worth a visit. Learn more about the region's history here, then wander around the lighthouse. You'll enjoy beautiful views across the river and bay. ...

Castro, Chile

Stilt houses and historic churches. Set amidst the lush greenery of Chiloe Island, Castro is Chile's third-oldest city. It's also home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Iglesia San Francisco and Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de Gracia de Nercon. The former is one of the oldest colonial era buildings in the country and has survived 15 major earthquakes.

Tortel, Chile

Receive a warm welcome in Caleta Tortel. We continue to go off the beaten path to visit isolated Caleta Tortel. Lying at the mouth of Rio Baker, Chile's largest river, this charming village is home to around 500 inhabitants. Instead of streets, a maze of boardwalks connects the close-knit community, spreading over the water and around the mountain base. If conditions permit, you'll be able to investigate the milky blue waters here by kayak. While exploring the village, you'll come across locals selling handicrafts, and you may even be treated to a performance by folk dancers. ...

White Narrows, Chile

Explore the Patagonian fjords and cross the White Narrows. We'll spend the next two days sailing through the maze of the Chilean fjords. Tidal conditions permitting, we hope to visit Puerto Eden, an enchanting village only accessible by sea. The 250-strong community here contains some of the last remaining members of the Indigenous Kawesqar people, offering a fascinating insight into Patagonian culture. Alternatively, we'll spend the day cruising the majestic fjords, drinking in the incredible scenery and spotting wildlife along the way. We may take the opportunity to launch our small expedition boats and explore even more closely. Be ready for spontaneous adventures! The next day, depending on the tide, we'll sail through the White Narrows into Puerto Natales. At less than 330 feet wide in parts, this striking waterway between islets and sheer rock cliffs is only passable in slack water and daylight. Head out on deck to witness some of the most beautiful landscapes on the continent as your captain skillfully navigates the ship through these famed channels. ...

Andean animals such as guanacos, rheas, and the elusive puma roam here. Look out for Chilean flamingos, as well as the mighty Andean condor. Puerto Natales is a popular hub for hikers and adventurers, with many eateries, bars, and outdoor shops. Visit the artisan village at Etherh Aike or stroll along the photogenic waterfront. ...

Sail through the Strait of Magellan. Tides and currents permitting, we'll depart Puerto Natales and sail through the White Narrows again. Once we're through, we'll cruise deep into the heart of the Chilean fjords, surrounded by panoramic views as we head towards Garibaldi Fjord.

Enjoy the serenity and beauty of the maze of fjords as we pass through, surrounded by islands, glaciers, and steep mountains.

Cruising Garibaldi Glacier, Chile

See one of Chile's most impressive glaciers. The goal for the day is a scenic cruise through Garibaldi Fjord in Alberto de Agostini National Park, all the way up to Garibaldi Glacier. Here, the Andes tumble into the Pacific and great glaciers calve ice into the beautiful fjords. The area is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and its rich waters are home to seals, sea lions, and many seabirds, including the impressive Andean condor. If conditions allow, we'll reach the Garibaldi Glacier at the head of the fjord, one of the most impressive glaciers in all of Chile. ...

Drop into the Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum, where you'll find Indigenous Yaghan artifacts, maps, photographs, and a traditional canoe. You can also see a replica of the bow of the Yelcho-the ship that rescued Shackleton's men in 1916. Hike through the gorgeous scenery on your own or as part of a guided excursion. You may be able to kayak if the weather allows, and keen birdwatchers should have their binoculars handy to spot seabirds, including the mighty albatross. ...

Cruising Beagle Channel, Argentina

Cruising Cape Horn, Chile

Round Cape Horn and cruise the Beagle Channel. Today, we cruise through the Beagle Channel and sail down to the southernmost tip of South America: Cape Horn. The rocky walls of the channel plunge straight into the deep, icy, blue waters of this wild and remote seascape. Watch out for rare, endemic Peale's dolphins and other wildlife. Cape Horn is where the open waters of the Atlantic and Pacific collide, creating powerful, swirling waves. Rounding the cape would once strike fear into the heart of hardened sailors. But with the benefit of our modern instruments, we'll attempt to safely land on and explore the cape-if the conditions cooperate, of course. Your expedition cruise continues through fabled waterways toward Ushuaia, our final stop. ...
