Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Saturday - Feb 1, 2025

Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile

Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Chile's modern capital Santiago is one of the largest cities in the Americas. Its impressive neoclassical, Neo-Gothic, art deco, and other architecture spans several centuries. Santiago's port, Valparaiso, is often compared to San Francisco for its many cerros, or hills. The city prospered as a major port until the opening of the Panama Canal reduced its importance. Quaint Victorian-era architecture recalling its 19th-century affluence and steeply sloped barrios are linked by ascensores, or funiculars, and winding byways. From Los Cerros, the views are spectacular.

Day 2 - Sunday - Feb 2, 2025

Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile

Valparaiso is the gateway to Santiago, Chile's scenically set capital boasting a rich repository of historic architecture. Fashioned in 1910 after the Petit Palais of Paris, the impressive Palace of Fine Arts houses Santiago's celebrated National Museum of Fine Arts. Palacio de la Moneda, a neoclassical gem, was built as a mint during Chile's early days. Meanwhile, the city's theater, Teatro Municipal, with its graceful arcades and Corinthian columns, hosts Chile's ballet, opera, and symphony, which enthrall concertgoers as much as their home's elegant facade does.

Day 3 - Monday - Feb 3, 2025

Cruising the Pacific Ocean

Sail Mar Pacifico, meaning "peaceful sea", dubbed by Ferdinand Magellan when he crossed these waters almost 500 years ago. As you sail today, savor a range of international cuisine onboard. Choose from variety of international flavors at the World Cafe, enjoy al fresco dining on the Aquavit Terrace, or regional specialties in The Restaurant.

Day 4 - Tuesday - Feb 4, 2025

Puerto Montt, Chile

Puerto Montt is considered the capital of the nation's Northern Patagonia province. The city was founded in 1853 after government-sponsored immigration brought Germans here to populate and develop the remote region. By 1912, a train linked Puerto Montt to Santiago, opening up trade and transport with larger cities. Beyond this cultural center, Chile's second-largest lake, Llanquihue Lake, is watched over by the snowcapped volcanoes Osorno and Calbuco. On the lake's shores, villages boast endless delights, magnificent gardens, and charming architecture from Old Europe.

Day 5 - Wednesday - Feb 5, 2025

Cruising the Chilean Fjords, Chile

A pristine paradise of soaring peaks, countless lush islands teeming with wildlife, and a tapestry of glaciers and rivers spilling into shimmering waters, the fjords of Chile are heralded as one of the most rugged and untamed places on earth. The crystal waters are a breathtaking sight as they journey through vast ice fields, towering mountainsides, and serene fishing villages that hug tranquil shores against backdrops of dramatic forested hills.

Day 6 - Thursday - Feb 6, 2025

Cruising Amalia Glacier, Chile

The Amalia Glacier, part of Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, is a marvel of nature. This massive glacier skirts the northern rise of the Reclus volcano located behind it, slowly eroding the hulking mound's slopes. Amalia's ice floe journeyed here millennia ago from the heights of the Andes-a fractional segment of one of the world's largest continuous ice fields, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. In the vicinity, Andean condors and cormorants soar above, and marine otters reside in the waters below.

Day 7 - Friday - Feb 7, 2025

Punta Arenas, Chile

Punta Arenas was founded as a penal colony by Chile in 1848. Nestled amid spectacular mountain vistas on the eastern shores of the Brunswick Peninsula, it played host to mariners as it is located on the Strait of Magellan. Settlers followed, searching for newly discovered gold and establishing vast swaths of sheep farms locally and throughout the surrounding region. Over time, Punta Arenas became one of Chile's most important ports as, before the opening of the Panama Canal, it laid on the northernmost transcontinental shipping route.

Day 8 - Saturday - Feb 8, 2025

Ushuaia, Argentina

Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. Its splendid setting, tucked between the Beagle Channel and the southernmost slopes of the Andes, lends it an outpost atmosphere, as do the Antarctic explorers readying for the expeditions that depart from here. Ushuaia is the capital of and gateway to the celebrated Tierra del Fuego, the "Land of Fire", named by Spaniards upon seeing the constant flames burned by the indigenous Yamana to keep warm. This largely unspoiled region comprises the large island of Tierra del Fuego and countless Chilean and Argentine islands.

Day 9 - Sunday - Feb 9, 2025

Cruising Cape Horn, Chile

Rising above the point where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans converge, Cape Horn, named for the Dutch city of Hoorn in the Netherlands, is part of the Hermite Islands archipelago. This remote, stark, and treeless place is often considered the continent's southernmost point. Soaring from Hornos Island is an enormous prehistoric-looking massif of Jurassic volcanic rock. Atop, stands its historic lighthouse near the water's edge. A beacon of assurance and safety for countless sailors since 1991, it is the world's southernmost traditional-style lighthouse.

Day 10 - Monday - Feb 10, 2025

Cruising the Atlantic Ocean

Sail the Atlantic Ocean, divided in half, north to south, by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Longer than the Rockies, the Himalayas, and the Andes combined, this underwater mountain range is the longest on Earth. Renew your body, mind, and spirit in the Scandinavian-inspired Spa, a Nordic sanctuary of holistic wellness, today while at sea. Whether you unwind in the Sauna, refresh in the Snow Grotto, or take a dip in the heated pool, you will feel recharged and revitalized.

Day 11 - Tuesday - Feb 11, 2025

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory comprising almost 800 small islands. Visitors to the main island of East Falkland, from curious travelers to expedition ship crews en route to Antarctica, experience British warmth in Port Stanley's pubs and at the charming Victorian stone church. Remarkably, there are about 200 sheep for every person in this starkly beautiful archipelago, yet the Falklands are also known for their biological diversity. Five penguin species call the islands home, from the king penguins to the gentoo, and the Magellanic on farther shores.

Day 12 - Wednesday - Feb 12, 2025

Cruising the Atlantic Ocean

Sail legendary waters, where medieval Europeans believed "there be dragons" beyond the ocean's horizon. As you sail, explore the well-curated Library, tucked in a private alcove of the Living Room, and select from a broad range of titles. Read a book by the Main Pool, a calming oasis in any weather with its retractable roof, allowing for year-round swimming.

Day 13 - Thursday - Feb 13, 2025

Puerto Madryn, Argentina

Puerto Madryn is Argentina's second-largest fishing port. In the mid-19th century, the Argentine government encouraged European emigration to remote Patagonian territories. But the heritage of the original immigrants lives on in the region's distinctive windmills and chapels. Several towns have retained their Welsh names; Puerto Madryn was named for the estate of Sir Love Jones-Parry, one of the colony's founders. Today, the city is the gateway to the scenic Peninsula Valdes, an important nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Day 14 - Friday - Feb 14, 2025

Cruising the Atlantic Ocean

Day 15 - Saturday - Feb 15, 2025

Cruising the Atlantic Ocean

The nutrient-rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean are home to more than half of the world's fisheries, annually providing millions of tons of fish and other marine species for human consumption and industrial purposes. Enjoy the amenities of your ship as you sail. Perhaps take a breath of fresh air on a brisk walk around the Promenade or begin your day with a workout in the well-equipped Fitness Center.

Day 16 - Sunday - Feb 16, 2025

Montevideo, Uruguay

Montevideo enjoys a scenic setting on La Plata River. The Portuguese were the first to settle here, seeking a strategic advantage near open ocean. But Spain, already having established Buenos Aires nearby, expelled them in 1724. This was the beginning of the golden era of Montevideo's Ciudad Vieja, or Old City: within its walls, some of the most impressive colonial-era buildings were built, from the Legislative Council building to the stunning Montevideo Metropolitan Cathedral. The wall has long since disappeared, but the character of old Montevideo remains.

Day 17 - Monday - Feb 17, 2025

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires, Argentina's cosmopolitan capital, is an eclectic combination of Latin and European influences. The tree-lined streets and postcolonial architecture draw on the city's Spanish, French, and Italian heritage, while the many cafes and bodegas and vibrant nightlife are decidedly Argentine. Its barrios, or neighborhoods, exude an intimate atmosphere that belies the city's size. Full of bohemian flair, historic San Telmo's cobblestone streets and Belle Epoque-style buildings reverberate with the mesmerizing melodies of the tango.

Day 18 - Tuesday - Feb 18, 2025

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires boasts one of the liveliest cultural scenes in the world. The stately Kirchner Cultural Center, the largest of its kind in Latin America, and the internationally renowned Colon Theater host some of the world's most highly recognized symphony orchestras. The National Museum of Fine Arts houses an impressive collection of works by European impressionists, while the Museum of Latin American Art focuses on 20th- and 21st-century Latino artists. Buenos Aires is also home to hundreds of bookstores and libraries, affording it the nickname "City of Books". After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home.
