SCENIC LUXURY YACHT CRUISES - Fjords & Glaicers of Chile

Chilean Fjords & Glaciers of The Beagle Channel

Round-trip Buenos Aires

"People ask me what makes this Patagonia crossing different, and it's the scale of it. One morning you're gliding past Cape Horn in the mist, the next you're watching a glacier calve into the fjord from your own verandah. It's the kind of trip where the ship becomes part of the story, not just the way you get from one wild place to the next." — Rick

1 Day

Depart Home

Overnight Flight to Buenos Aires

▾

Say farewell to home as you board your overnight flight bound for Buenos Aires. Settle in, get some rest, and let the anticipation build — by the time you touch down, your Patagonian expedition through the Chilean Fjords and the Beagle Channel will be just hours from beginning.

2 Day

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Argentina · Overnight Stay

▾

Welcome to Buenos Aires, where you'll stay overnight. Perhaps plan to spend some time in the city, nicknamed the 'Paris of South America'. Resplendent with Belle Epoque buildings, sidewalk cafes and green spaces, there's the fiery passion of Latin America — a collective love for football, flame-cooked meats (asado) and the tango.

Some of the highlights are La Boca, a colourful, creative mecca with a must-do art walk, and San Telmo, a former aristocratic neighbourhood that was abandoned during a 19th-century epidemic. Mansions were turned into conventillos (shared housing), boutique hotels, antique shops, and tango clubs, exuding a captivating bohemian vibe.

3 Day

Buenos Aires > Ushuaia

Argentina · Embarkation

▾

Breakfast · Dinner

Fly from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city in the world.

Your journey of discovery begins with a warm welcome from the Captain and crew on board as you step onto Scenic Eclipse II. Sip on a glass of Champagne and explore your luxurious suite. Meet your butler, then join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar and toast to the start of an unforgettable voyage.

Docked: 18:00

4 Day

Cape Horn

Chile · Beagle Channel

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Cruise through the legendary waters of Cape Horn, where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet at the southernmost point of South America. The collision of these two oceans is a spectacular display of nature's force and a great place to spot sea lions, penguins and whales.

Continue through the Beagle Channel, tracing the southern edge of Patagonia, and named after the ship that carried Charles Darwin on his five-year discovery journey. Admire the dramatic views of the Andean mountains from the comfort of your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht.

Join an introductory presentation by the Discovery Team in the state-of-the-art theatre, learning about the journey ahead through Chilean Patagonia and towards the polar frontier.

Scenic Discovery: Weather and sea conditions permitting, explore this remote archipelago on activities organized by the Discovery Team, such as a hike to the lighthouse and a visit to the Cape Horn Monument.

5 Day

Chilean Fjords

Chile · Seno Garibaldi & Seno Pia

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

As you cruise through this remarkable region, witness Seno Garibaldi, one of a handful of advancing glaciers in the world. Continue to Seno Pia Glacier, where you'll have the chance to explore its striking ice crevasses and meandering rivers. This spectacular area, recognised as a World Heritage-listed Biosphere Reserve, teems with marine life — including seals, sea lions, and a variety of seabirds — while the majestic Andean condor soars overhead.

Scenic Discovery: Join your Discovery Team for Zodiac cruising near the Seno Garibaldi and Seno Pia glaciers, or enjoy kayaking around the bergy bits for a more active adventure.

6 Day

Chilean Fjords

Chile · Agostini Fjord & Glacier

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Venture deep into the heart of the Patagonian fjords of southern Chile as your Discovery Yacht navigates the untouched Agostini Fjord, a sanctuary of raw, natural beauty. Towering peaks rise dramatically above glacial-blue waters, leading to the awe-inspiring Agostini Glacier — a shimmering cascade of ice spilling from the rugged Darwin Mountain Range. Keep your eyes peeled for playful seals, soaring seabirds, and majestic humpback whales in their pristine habitat.

Scenic Discovery: Explore your destination through activities organised by the expert Discovery Team, with an evening recap from the Discovery Leader.

7 Day

Punta Arenas, Chile

Chile · Strait of Magellan

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Punta Arenas is located at the southern extreme of Chile, in the heart of Patagonia, and serves as the gateway into Antarctica as well as Torres del Paine National Park. Overlooking the Strait of Magellan, this historic port flourished during the California Gold Rush. The city will delight with its clean air, sophisticated European architecture and wildlife.

Late in the evening, cruise the legendary Strait of Magellan, once the main passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans before the Panama Canal, following the historic routes of explorers Ferdinand Magellan and Sir Francis Drake.

Scenic Freechoice: Choose from Punta Arenas on Foot, a guided walk through the city's heart; Magellan's Discovery and Nao Victoria, visiting full-size replicas of historic sailing ships; or a Patagonian Estancia Experience with sheep-shearing demonstrations and a traditional lamb barbecue at a family-owned ranch.

Anchored: 06:00 - 20:00

8 Day

Cruising Chilean Fjords

Chile · Patagonian Fjords

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Navigate the labyrinth of the Patagonian fjords of southern Chile — long narrow inlets, steep cliffs, channels and islands all carved by glaciers. From the Observation Deck with its commanding view of the bow, marvel at towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, and dense forests of this pristine wilderness.

Stay alert for delightful sightings of elephant seals, dolphins, and majestic whales gracefully accompanying your voyage — use your complimentary in-suite binoculars to find them as they blend into the landscape. Savour the relaxed atmosphere at the Yacht Club with al fresco dining featuring grilled-to-perfection meats and fresh seafood.

9 Day

Pio XI Glacier (Inner Fjords) & Puerto Eden

Chile · Chilean Inside Passage

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Cruise deep into Patagonia's Inner Fjords and the English Narrows, home to remote Puerto Eden — the only settlement inside the Chilean Inside Passage. Learn about the ancient Mapuche culture and navigate the town's intricate wooden boardwalks.

Witness the stunning Pio XI Glacier, nestled within Bernardo O'Higgins National Park and spanning the size of Santiago. Also known as Bruggen Glacier, it's the sole glacier on Earth that is expanding daily.

Scenic Discovery: Explore your destination through experiences organised by the Discovery Team, with an evening recap from the Discovery Leader.

10 Day

At Sea

Cruising the Chilean Coast

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

After days of exploration, spend time relaxing on board your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Delve into an insightful conversation with one of the Discovery Team members after an educational lecture in the state-of-the-art theatre — a team of geologists, historians, ornithologists, marine biologists, and glaciologists at the heart of your Expedition Voyage.

Alternatively, simply watch the world slip by from a cabana on Deck 10 or the privacy of your suite's verandah, and join new friends over a relaxed meal at the Azure Bar & Café.

11 Day

Castro, Isla Chiloé, Chile

Chile · Chiloé National Park

▾

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Discover Castro, set on the enchanting island of Chiloé, where exquisite natural beauty meets rich cultural heritage. Spot a glimpse of the local penguin colony, comprising Magellanic and Humboldt penguins, and stroll through the city streets sampling local delicacies such as the Chiloé potato, and the many World Heritage-listed churches known for their ecclesiastical wooden architecture.

Puerto Montt, Chile

Chile · Lake District

Framed by snow-capped volcanoes and lush green landscapes, it serves as a gateway to the stunning Andean Alps. Stroll along its bustling waterfront and explore colourful markets brimming with artisan crafts and fresh seafood.

Scenic Freechoice: Choose from Volcano Osorno and Petrohué Falls, with panoramic views from La Burbuja; Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas and Frutillar, exploring Chile's Lake District and its German heritage; or a River Rafting Petrohué Adventure through Class III–IV rapids.

Cruising to Valparaíso

This evening, indulge in fine French dining at Lumière, where elegant surroundings and impeccable service set the tone — the best way to end your day in refined style.

Breakfast included

Your voyage ends today in the World Heritage-listed city of Valparaíso, with its long and colourful history dating to the 16th century conquistadors.
