Australis expedition cruise routes

Explore the untouched and southernmost region of the world, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, aboard the Mare Australis Expedition cruise or her sister ship, the all new Via Australis. Follow in the shadows of the great explorers Hernando de Magellanes and Sir Francis Drake on their voyages of discovery.

Visit the southernmost forests and glaciers in the Magellan region inside the fjords of Tierra del Fuego and sail as far south as Cape Horn.

During the cruise there will be:

  • Daily Zodiac landings
  • Nature walks in the Darwin mountain range
  • Penguin and sea elephant colonies in their own habitat
  • Daily lectures on history, cultures, flora and fauna
  • Visit the world´s southernmost towns and Cape Horn

The Mare Australis and the Via Australis sail through the Strait of Magellan, along the Beagle Channel and down to Cape Horn where the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans meet at Drake's Passage.

Where the sea and the mountains meet, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans merge, silence is touching and flora, fauna and an impossing geography arouse the senses. In this wild and magic area, glaciers, perennial snow, sea lions, penguins and the lush vegetation will be witness to the passage of the Mare & the Via Australis Expedition ships in one of the most unexplored areas of the planet, a region unimaginably beautiful and indomitable, unspoiled and imposing.  Between the Chilean city of Punta Arenas and the Argentine city of Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego.

We invite You to live this Unforgettable Adventure at the End of the Earth !!!!
