EPIC PATAGONIA ADVENTURE

Join us on an epic adventure through the wonders of Patagonia

Experience the Chilean Fjords and the spectacular Torres del Paine, plus encounter extraordinary wildlife at the very bottom of South America.

Over 15 unforgettable days, we'll explore the Chilean fjords, glaciers, and the iconic Torres del Paine National Park aboard a luxury expedition ship. We'll see glaciers, jaw-dropping landscapes, penguin colonies and soaring condors – all while enjoying the comfort and adventure that only a small but luxurious ship can offer.

Even better, you'll leave the ship every single day in Patagonia, something almost no other cruise companies can offer. You'll experience this remote and magical region in a way very few travellers ever can.

💫 Here's what makes this trip so special:

✅ 🐧 Encounter iconic wildlife, such as Magellanic penguins, sea lions and seabirds

✅ ⛰ Experience some of the world's most remote glacial and fjord systems, including Glacier Alley & Torres del Paine National Park – home to guanacos, condors, and granite spires

✅ 🛳️ Retrace Darwin's route through the Beagle Channel and learn about the history of southern Chile

✅ 🚤 Get closer to it all in a Zodiac for a unique perspective of glaciers, fjords and channels

✅ 🚁 Helicopter adventures included in the price: Enjoy helicopter flightseeing from Ultramarine for a unique perspective of this incredible landscape

✅ Daily excursions: Zodiac cruises, guided hikes and landings in some of Patagonia's most breathtaking and remote locations – most cruise companies can't offer these!

And I've managed to negotiate us deals off all cabins, including the balcony ones 🎉

If Patagonia has been on your bucket list for years, now's the time to make it happen.

About the Adventure

I'm so excited to be able to offer this trip – and to join you on it! Here’s what to expect:

We'll meet in Buenos Aires, Argentina. If you need assistance booking flights, I can help you with that.

At Buenos Aires, we meet our guides and all fly down to Ushuaia, where we board the good ship Ultramarine – our home for the next 15 days.

After that, every day brings new discoveries: Zodiac landings on remote shores, helicopter flightseeing over incredible valleys and glaciers, and heli-hikes to viewpoints very few people ever see.

While we cruise, you'll enjoy fantastic food and drink (they can cater for almost all dietary requirements), plus briefings and talks from the expedition team to bring each day's experiences to life.

And if Patagonia isn’t on your list yet… just LOOK at these photos!

The map shown is a suggested itinerary – the exact route will depend on weather and sea conditions – but every stop is carefully chosen to give us the best opportunities for wildlife, jaw-dropping scenery and fascinating culture, including Torres del Paine National Park and visits to small Patagonian communities in the Chilean fjords.

📸 This place is a photographer's dream. Whether you've got a professional camera or just your phone, you'll come away with incredible shots.

And don't worry – no matter your skill level you'll come away with a digital photo journal from the ship's photographer, filled with hundreds of photos and memories of our adventure. 💖

🚢 The Ship: Ultramarine

This adventure takes place aboard Ultramarine – the exact ship I've personally sailed on in both Svalbard and Antarctica.

It's a new, state-of-the-art expedition vessel packed with features designed for comfort AND adventure.

✅ Friendly, professional crew: I've never met a team so genuinely helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming.

✅ Small ship, big access: With under 200 passengers, Ultramarine can do things larger ships can't – like Zodiac landings on remote shores, getting closer to wildlife, and operating within sensitive areas that bigger vessels aren't permitted to enter.

✅ Built for exploration: Ultramarine carries two twin-engine helicopters, giving you access to experiences few other ships can offer – heli-hiking on remote ridges, flightseeing over glaciers, and even landings on the Greenland Ice Sheet.

✅ 360° viewing deck: You can walk all the way around the ship, so when someone spots whales or other wildlife, you can get there in seconds.

Onboard comforts include:

• Spa and sauna with huge picture windows (yes, you can watch whales glide by while you unwind!)

• Gym, bar, presentation theatre, two fantastic restaurants, shop and 24/7 reception

• Daily presentations from the Expedition Team to bring Patagonia's wildlife, history and culture to life

🌱 Responsible travel:

One of the reasons I'm happy to partner with Quark is their respect for the environment. Quark Expeditions are passionate about protecting the places they visit. The ship is eco-friendly, they only land in approved areas, and they follow strict IAATO (International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators) guidelines to minimise disturbance to wildlife and the environment.

They also work closely with local authorities and communities in Chile to ensure every visit leaves a positive impact.

🍽 Meals on board

One thing I can promise: you won't go hungry!

Meal times might shift depending on landings and wildlife sightings, but you'll enjoy:

• Three delicious meals a day, with breakfasts and lunches usually buffet style, and dinners either buffet or plated. No matter how picky an eater you are, there’s something for everyone

• Snacks and treats are available all day, including a 24/7 tea/coffee station (usually with biscuits and cakes nearby!)

• Soft drinks, wines, beer, and non-premium spirits included during meals and bar hours. (And no, these aren't the cheap and disgusting

ones-the wines and free drinks are really good!)

• Premium spirits, wines and champagne available for an additional charge, billed to your onboard account (no cash needed)

Most dietary needs can be accommodated if you let Quark know in advance. (The only exception is kosher meals, which can't be provided.)

Recommended Cabin

For a trip like this, you want to be able to see outside as much as possible. For this reason, I recommend either a Balcony cabin (pictured above) or a Deluxe Balcony cabin.

Both of these room types are bright, comfortable, and perfect for taking in the scenery as we sail. The balcony is brilliant for sitting with a cup of tea and watching the incredible landscape (and whales!) just slip by.

All cabins have a private bathroom, daily housekeeping, and plenty of storage space.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Absolutely! You can either:
- Share a cabin and be paired with someone of the same gender and similar age, or
- Book your own cabin with a single supplement.
Either way, you'll be part of our Wandering Travel Tribe group, so you'll have friends from day one.
Low/Moderate fitness is plenty. You need to be able to get in and out of the Zodiacs if you want to go ashore. Don’t worry- there are 3 people helping each time. If you can walk up/ down stairs, you can do this.
Some people simply choose to stay onboard and enjoy the scenery – there's no pressure to join every landing or hike.

There are many people in their 70s and 80s who do these cruises and manage just fine.
Me too, my lovely!
The good thing about this trip is that there is no open ocean passage like there is to Antarctica, so it won’t get too rough. We’ll spend most of our time in fjords and sheltered waterways.
I always bring Seabands and there's always a qualified expedition doctor onboard.
The crew are brilliant at finding calm waters whenever possible, and the ship is designed to cross the fearful Drake Passage. So even though we're the other end of the planet, it's still designed to deal with whatever we encounter with safety and stability.
Not at all!
I almost always use only my iPhone and a GoPro on my trips and still come home with amazing photos.
But if you do have a "proper" camera, you'll find endless opportunities to practise and improve- there’s always a ship photographer on board who is happy to share tips and advice.
