The Mare Australis is an Expedition Cruiseship that sails through the Strait of Magellan and The Beagle Channel and Explores one of the wildest and most beautiful regions of the World: Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, at the Southernmost tip of the South American Continent.

Offering an Alternative of 3 or 4 Night Cruises From September to April each year, Mare Australis sets sail every Saturday from the Chilean City of Punta Arenas and every Wednesday from the Argentinean City of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. The journey begins by sailing along channels, bays, fyords, passing glaciers, snow-capped mountains, islands and unexplored forests of inconparable beauty. You will be accompanied by penguins, elephant seals and sea-lions. The imposing Serrano, Dagostini, Condor, Pia, Garibaldi and other Glaciers will oversee your journey, and their majesty will remain engraved in Your Memory Forever. You will bring back to your mind exciting adventures until we reach Cape Horn, the last promontory before crossing to the Antartica and the point where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans merge through the drake passage. You will enjoy daily excursions to a land where our guides will teach you about the regional flora and fauna, as well as about the history of its first inhabitants. In Fact, this will be one of the most pleasant and unforgettable experiences because Patagonia explored from the Mare Australis will leave no one unimpressed.
