Luxury Cape Horn Expedition Cruises made for you

The Cape Horn region is one of the world’s most remote and striking meeting points of land and sea. To explore Tierra del Fuego’s ice-carved fjords, glaciers and windswept islands, we cannot recommend a Cape Horn expedition cruise highly enough. You’ll experience this extraordinary landscape from your cabin, the open deck and on expert-led excursions ashore.

Located at the southern tip of South America, Tierra del Fuego is separated from Patagonia by the Strait of Magellan. This southern archipelago is split between Chile and Argentina, and it really does feel like the end of the world. Its name translates as ‘land of fire’, a reference to the fires lit by the Indigenous Yámana people.

Days on board are planned around the conditions and the landscape. Cruise through narrow channels, approach glaciers by Zodiac, step ashore for guided walks and look out for wildlife along the coast. Snowy peaks, mountain glaciers, crystalline lakes and moraines all form part of the experience. Along the way, expert guides explain the region’s natural history, geology and maritime past.

The route runs between Punta Arenas in Chile and Ushuaia in Argentina, making this an ideal way to combine the two countries that share Patagonia. Sailing around Cape Horn stands out for its isolation and long maritime history. Weather permitting, you’ll step ashore at Cabo de Hornos, one of the journey’s most historically significant points.
