A Ventus cruise would combine very well with some time hiking based from a luxury Lodge in Torres del Paine National Park before or after (depending on the route you choose).

What our customers think
Swoop says
Take some time to stand aboard the deck and watch the fjords unfold around you. There are countless different perspectives as you move around the ship, some low to the water with great chances to spot wildlife, and some high enough that you feel on top of the world.
