Watch Video
Join us on an odyssey that combines the celebrated wonders of the southernmost realms of the planet in a single epic voyage. The Antarctic Peninsula, southern Patagonia, and the Chilean fjords are places of unimaginable beauty. Humpback whales breach and penguins gather by the thousands. Icebergs shimmer and sapphire-hued fjords harbor snowcapped peaks and virgin forests. Flexibility is a hallmark of our expedition style, and often the shipboard day-by-day itinerary will change—so we may take full advantage of rare wildlife sightings, watching whales feed off the bow, or perfect conditions for a late day Zodiac excursion.

What to Expect: Torres del Paine National Park
- Sep 2024
“The natural beauty of Torres del Paine inspires a wonder so pure you simply need to experience it for yourself,” says Naturalist Eduardo Shaw. Stretching 450,000 acres from the Chilean Andes to the Patagonian Steppe, this massive national park is home to towering peaks, crystalline glacial lakes, and fascinating creatures like guanacos, pumas, and Andean condors. In this episode of What to Expect, Shaw guides us among winding fjords and undulating grasslands, preparing travelers for an unforgettable visit to Patagonia’s legendary park.
