PATAGONIAN FJORD CRUISING

Discovering the Patagonian Fjords, Chile and Argentina

One of the best ways to observe the dramatic scenery, flora and fauna of the Patagonian Fjords is by cruise ship. Excursions take guests off the ship to explore by foot and Zodiac (motorised inflatable boat). If you are looking for a voyage that will also offer the comfort of excellent facilities, Stella Australis and Ventus Australis are sophisticated vessels that deliver a comfortable and relaxed stay.

South America Travel Centre specialises in tailor made travel throughout South America and Antarctica. A Patagonia fjord cruise is a great way of discovering this beautiful wilderness area. Each ship has a range of cabins types; please call to discuss your plans.  We can also create a longer itinerary throughout Chile suited to your interests. You will travel on your own itinerary, at your pace, accompanied by private guides and drivers with private, air conditioned vehicles.
