Cruise Details 

Are you ready to sail among the gigantic icebergs of Los Glaciares National Park? We’ll set sail from La Soledad Port in Punta Bandera, located on the outskirts of El Calafate.

We'll begin our cruise on Lago Argentino, sailing across the waters of Tranquila Bay. From there, we'll head towards Seno Mayo. This mountain, located in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, is one of the great icons of Los Glaciares National Park.

We'll disembark at the foot of this mountain, very close to the border with Chile, for a 40-minute hike to discover the endemic fauna and flora of the Andean-Patagonian forest, as well as its spectacular waterfalls.

Back on board, you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner while we sail towards Toro Bay. We’ll anchor in this beautiful corner of Lago Argentino, where you’ll spend the night in your cabin.

The following day, we'll start the day with a comforting breakfast and as we sail through the Canal de los Témpanos towards the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. We'll disembark here for a 2-hour walk along the panoramic walkways overlooking the glacier. Get your cameras ready!

After admiring this natural wonder, we'll return to the cruise ship for lunch on board as we pass by the impressive north face of Perito Moreno.

Finally, at 4 pm, we'll dock at La Soledad port, where the cruise will end.
