Sail through the world’s southernmost fjords, gaze at immense glaciers and take in the breathtaking landscape of Chilean Patagonia aboard the Skorpios III. With a capacity of just 90 passengers in 45 comfortable cabins, this vessel offers wonderful hospitality and a chance to both relax and partake in exciting shore-based landings.
Skorpios III has a great variety of cabin types, all of which are very comfortable and spacious. It can be tricky to get your head around all of the options though. For example only certain categories have double beds, and only one category caters for solo travellers. Some decks are better than others for privacy too, so get in early for the best choice, and let us know what you're looking for and we'll help you find the right one.
