Chilean Fjords and Patagonia: Cape Horn and the Strait of Magellan

14 nights · 4. November - 18. November 2026 · Valparaiso → Ushuaia

Discover the voyage

Fourteen nights aboard L'Austral take you from Valparaíso through the Chilean fjords down to Ushuaia, the southernmost port of Argentina. This 184-guest sistership of the Ponant Classic fleet, with marina platform and zodiac fleet, allows landings in remote bays that remain out of reach for larger cruise ships. You experience calving glaciers, island archipelagos and the silent Patagonia of the channels, combined with premium all-inclusive service and French-inspired onboard culture. The route crosses the Strait of Magellan and rounds Cape Horn before the Beagle Channel leads to Ushuaia.
