Chilean Fjords from Puerto Williams, 27 February 2027 (11 nights)

Nicknamed the “End of the World”, Ushuaia is a charming windswept city on the southernmost tip of South America and an important port of call for cruise adventures to Antarctica. In the heart of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, this port is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, boasting sensational sightseeing opportunities for everyone who travels here. From vibrant coastal forests and dramatic waterfalls to stunning glaciers and unique polar wildlife, Ushuaia really is somewhere where you’ll be able to bask in the sheer beauty of nature, and soak up some sensational panoramic views from the vantage points found here. This city, though, while being famous for being (arguably) the most southernmost city in the entire world, is also something of a gateway to Antarctica and the smaller islands that make up the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. So, despite being rather quaint in comparison to other Argentinian cities and South American holiday hotspots, what you’re met with in Ushuaia is just a taste of what’s to come – if you’re continuing onto Antarctica, anyway. That doesn’t mean you should be too eager to leave Ushuaia, though, as this port of call does offer a lot more than just breathtaking natural beauty. Ushuaia is also home to a unique collection of museums and some fantastic food; so, while the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the region is a major highlight, this is one destination that will prove to be just as memorable as everything else on your itinerary.

The peninsular of Punta Arenas is a hugely popular location for those wanting to whale watch either from the rugged coastline or boat trips out to sea. Cruisers stopping by can also enjoy the sanctuary for sea life such as endangered turtles and seahorses, or kayak along the Magellan Straits to spot penguins. Explore the main boulevard and take in the local art gallery, or hit the duty free area for fantastic souvenirs.

Caleta Tortel is an extraordinary village in remote Chilean Patagonia, with no streets, only a network of wooden boardwalks and staircases linking its houses along a fjord. Set between two great ice fields amid forests and waterfalls, it's a place of haunting beauty. Its singular character and wild surroundings make it unforgettable.

Puerto Cisnes is a charming small town set among the channels of Chilean Patagonia, on the scenic Carretera Austral route. Surrounded by lush temperate rainforest, fjords and mountains, it's a tranquil base for exploring this pristine wilderness. With its colourful houses and dramatic setting, it captures the magic of southern Chile.

Puerto Montt, Chile, is a charming port city with a lot to offer everyone who visits – whether you’re looking for adventure ashore or a more leisurely experience. Home to some sensational cuisine, especially seafood, and surrounded by stunning scenery, this is the perfect place to casually immerse yourself in Chilean culture. Although, with this destination surrounded by forests and national parks, there’s almost more than enough opportunity to go exploring the wonderful wilderness. Staying in the city, though, you’ll have the chance to see the remarkable wood-built Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral, the unique statues of Sentados Frente al Mar, and more.

Just under 2 hours from the capital of Santiago, Valparaiso is a vibrant port city on Chile's coast that's known for the colourful houses, beautiful coastal views and the numerous attractions that are waiting to be explored, including the Natural history museum, Baburizza Palace art museum and the Ascensor Reina Victoria. If you wish to travel to Santiago and you have time during your stop off, it's well worth the effort; as there are lots of sights to see, including Plaza de Armas and the Metropolitan Cathedral, which dates back to the 18th century.
