The Antarctic cruises offer many options, from the classical trips to the Antarctic Peninsula on the MV USHUAIA or luxurious ships like the Antarctic Dream to air-cruisers flying over Cape Horn and the Drake Sea to reach King George Island, and from there on sail up to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Another possibility is to travel to Antarctica on the Russian icebreakers. Not only travelling to the Peninsula, but also going around the semi-Antarctic Circle or crossing the Antarctic Polar Circuit. Tourists can consider 10 different options regarding Antarctic Cruises.
Setting for the Antarctica, the fourth biggest continent in the world, situated in the South Pole. It lies almost concentrically around the South Pole and has an inlet: the Antarctic Peninsula, which extends to South America, and two portions of water: the Ross and Wedell seas and its ice shelves. Its overall area is 14.2 million km2 in summer.
On Patagonia Cruises, we will have the opportunity to sail along the cold waters of the Strait of Magellan, passing by Cape Horn up to the Beagle Channel, converging Punta Arenas in Chile with Ushuaia in Argentina travelling on the Mare, Via Australis and Australis Cruises. This itinerary can be planned the other way around, setting sail from Ushuaia.
From October to April of every year, we sail along the Strait of Magellan and Beagle Channel, going along fiords, bays, glaciers and islands from Punta Arenas and Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, up to the mythical Cape Horn.
Other Patagonia cruises are the Skorpios. Along this trip we will be dazzled by the Chilean Fiords when we head for San Rafael glacier, Quitralco fiord or on the way to Kaweskar Road, depending on our choice: sailing the Southern or the Northern Ice Fields of this Patagonian sector.
Discover these far and beautiful lands is to sail on the Skorpios Cruise, covering different routes, such as the Kaweskar Explorers Route. Kaweskar, which are also Kaweskar, is the name we gave to the ancient inhabitants of these southern remote places. They inhabited these cold lands, which feed them, and encouraged them with the beauties that inspired love for their sea and land.
We will also visit San Rafael Glacier, in the Northern Ice Fields, which will welcome us with its towers of more than 70m high and 2,000m wide and sail among spectacular multicolor 30,000-year-old ice shelves. Coming back we will visit the Fiordo Quitraico (Quitraico Fiord) and its private and exclusive thermal baths.
We can also choose to sail along the Patagonia channels travelling on
Navimag ferries.
If passengers are looking for adventure and have already been to the South Pole and Antarctica, we suggest the Staten Island trip so as to visit the lighthouse at the end of the world, which the visionary writer Jules Verne wrote about in his famous novels.
The most desolated and intriguing place to visit is the Staten Island Reserve. A trip to the Lighthouse of the End of the World to discover the lighthouse that only Jules Verne could imagine. This reserve not only has the Island of the same name but also many surrounding islands and Archipiélago de Año Nuevo (New Year Archipelago), which is about 8,300 hectares. The Staten Island is the biggest and is situated in the eastern extreme of the Southern Andes.

However, if they prefer a different climate, let's get away from the Antarctic cold polar winds and the special mysticism they contemplate in the wild, silent Patagonia, and opt for the north of Brazil, with high temperatures and humid environment to reach Manaos and get on the cruises that sail along the Amazon and Negro River waters, going deep into an absolutely virgin and enigmatic natural scenery.
Ecuador offers the possibility of going towards the Galapagos Islands, sailing the Eastern and Western Galapagos Islands over the Pacific Ocean where we will be dazzled by the creation of these 13 isles originated from volcanic eruptions and geological changes.
