Cape Horn & Glaciers Cruise

The cruise was a wonderful chance to experience Cape Horn and the glaciers, lands and waters of Tierra del Fuego. Opportunities to get on land and walk around were most appreciated when available.

An outstanding experience. The boat was luxurious. The food delicious. All the staff - superb. The expeditions very day were wonderful. We had fun with the other people on our table and enjoyed meeting other guests. The lectures and other onboard activities were interesting.

All of the cruise was memorable, particularly the storm around Cape Horn with 100mph+ winds and 6 meter waves. The glaciers and scenery, were truly spectacular. It was good to be in a relatively small group of people.

Interesting and active cruise in an area with exotic and vulnerable nature.

Unique, unique, unique. We were super lucky to have great weather the entire cruise. We never missed a stop and even did some 'extra' cruising because the weather was so calm.

We were able to get off the boat at Cape Horn! The food was great. The service was great. The guides were all knowledgeable and friendly. A couple of the people in our group said these were the most comfortable beds of the trip! The boat was smooth, no rocking. We liked the smaller ship. We always saw familiar faces and there was more interaction than on the huge cruise ships we have been on before. All of the hikes were very doable and fun. We saw so many glaciers! We laughed a lot on the cruise.

The relaxed atmosphere, the scenery and the helpfulness of the crew. I had a bad knee for the whole of the holiday (really bad) but they were so helpful and insisted I got off the boat for each trip and then provided me with a personal guide who then helped me walk as much as I was able so as not to miss out.

The Australis is well-run and enjoyable. There was no one highlight – Cape Horn, the fiords, the penguins, and so on. The wild and beautiful mountains and glaciers were amazing to see.

Everything was a highlight: walking around Cape Horn, seeing the glaciers up close, going on hikes, seeing the penguins, the guides' knowledge and ability to explain things well, the food, the organization on the ship, the staff. The zodiac excursions were great and they did a good job of getting us on and off. All the guides were top-notch.

The Cape Horn landing was the highlight for me.....and all those steep stairs which I slowly made it up, despite having bronchitis. We also won the auction at the Captain's dinner for the navigational map of the Cape Horn landing... a thrill.

The trip was well worth the expense as it was well organized, experience-rich, very safe, run by superb and knowledgeable staff and chock-full of epic scenery. I loved not only what I saw, but also what I learned. The emphasis on new knowledge about the environment was much appreciated.

The daily Zodiac excursions were the highlight of the cruise. The staff was always very knowledgeable and helpful. They were fun to be around, but clearly kept everyone's safety in mind.

The scenery was amazing. The guides provided insight to the fauna and flora of the area. Walking with the penguins was a real treat. Visiting the colony of Magellanic penguins was definitely a highlight of the cruise. Traveling in the Strait of Magellan was a surreal moment.
