Read More >Obviously not many people can say that they visited Cape Horn on a near-perfect weather day. We did and it was exceptional. Zodiac excursions were carried out with utmost passenger safety foremost. Guides were very safety conscious and provided accurate information on every excursion. They were friendly and very helpful. Food quality was good and plentiful with good service provided both in the dining room and the cabins.

Read More >The cruise was wonderful... Four days was a nice amount of time to spend cruising through the Fjords, getting out and hiking as well as making our way to Cape Horn. The Pia glacier was probably my favorite part of the trip. We were able to see the glacier calving which was an incredible site.
