The excursions were great. I loved the views from the different lookout points we went to and the guides were knowledgeable. The crew on the zodiacs did a great job to keeping us safe and transporting us back and forth.

Being at the top of Cape Horn was emotional. I had no idea that it would have been so wonderful. However, the entire trip made a most memorable moment in my life.

This was my first cruise and it did not disappoint. The size and care from the staff were super.

Seeing the glaciers up front was an awesome experience, and we were incredibly lucky too with the weather for the Cape Horn excursion. To stand by the Albatross sculpture with a fabulous view of the 'end of the world' is an unforgettable experience!

It is a true joy for all senses to cruise down the fjords and to be able to stop and take the zodiacs to shore for excursions. Knowledgeable guides add to these memorable experiences.

Ralph Turkel - USA

The ship was clean and super comfortable! The staff were fun and engaged. The fjords were amazing. We had some tricky, although to be expected, Patagonia weather and the staff and crew were careful to make decisions that considered first and foremost the safety of the guests on the ship.

Gail Pontius - USA

I have traveled to Patagonia many times many years ago and this cruise was something new. Ship and cabins nice, crew magnificent, food excellent, reasonable price.

Mark Bryant - USA

The highlight was the glacier hikes from the zodiac boats. Four days of sailing, daily zodiac excursions, exploring without seeing any other groups of people or ships gave a real sense of the vastness of this region. We felt honored to be able to have this experience!

Jacky Wu - United States Of America

The cruise was fantastic. Every minute was an highlight! We saw tons of wildlife, dolphins, whales, seals, pinguins, and many birds. The guides were super, very interesting information, multi languages, and very friendly.

Anne Marie Mot - United States Of America

I was blown away at the thoughtfullness that went into the experience and the level of service and consideration towards the guest. I greatly appreciated the historic/informative talks and movies, and the onship library was a treat.

Stephani Dalbesio - United States Of America

Our cruise was really lovely. We learned a lot from the onboard lectures- about glaciology and also the history of the Yamana people. We enjoyed the zodiac excursions, we usually took the “easy” option because it came with more educational time.

Mindy De Hooge - United States Of America

We particularly appreciated Chloe's suggestion to add the Australis cruise - brilliant choice.

We are independent travelers and I'm used to booking everything myself, but when it came to Patagonia I got overwhelmed with all of the possibilities, so I would highly recommend Swoop to anyone!

Our family had the enormous good fortune of working with Swoop to book our holiday, it would be difficult to imagine a more satisfying trip than Swoop arranged for us, or dealing with professionals more knowledgeable and courteous than its staff.
