End of the World Australis Cruise Expedition
12 DAYS Starting from $8,690 per person
It doesn’t get more evocative or diverse than this 12-Day End of the World Australis Cruise Expedition. Not only will you cruise the pristine waters of Patagonia and Tierra Del Fuego – one of the most remote and biodiverse regions on the planet – but you’ll also get under the skin of two of South America’s greatest cities, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires. In only 12 days you’ll get up close and personal with penguins, navigate fjords and glaciers, witness an intimate tango show and visit the home of Chile’s greatest poet.
