Cruise Patagonia with End of Season Offer
The expedition cruise line is ending its 2011-2012 season with a last hurrah through beautiful Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, starting at only $759 per person sharing. The three-night cruise is on the state of the art ship, Stella Australis, from April 7 through April 10, 2012.

Your journey begins once you depart Punta Arenas, the most prominent settlement on the Strait of Magellan. Visit Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego through the mythical Strait of Magellan where you will take in some of the most captivating wilderness regions in the world. At first daybreak, view an amphitheater of glaciers at Brookes Fiord and spend your morning sailing across the Almirantazgo Sound until reaching Ainsworth Bay’s Marinelli Glacier. During the afternoon, discover a beaver dam and the incredible Magellanic forest while keeping an eye out for elephant seals.

For a closer look, enter the Alakaluf Fjord by Zodiac boat to see waterfalls and the Aguila and Cóndor Glaciers where your professional guide will teach you about their formation and influence on the geography of the Patagonian-Tierra del Fuego channels. The cruise will come to a close after a necessary visit to Marta Island where you can view sea lions and the large penguin colonies.

If the location itself doesn't get the heart pumping, the Stella's glass-paneled gym on the top deck will. Recently featured in CNN Go's "10 gyms with the most amazing views", the gym’s full-height windows provide ever-changing views of snow-dusted mountains, glaciers and forest-clad fjords.

A cruise with Cruceros Australis is an all-inclusive experience including sea transportation, shore excursions, onboard entertainment, all meals and an open bar. Passengers will also enjoy local Chilean and Argentinean wines. The menu combines international cuisine and local recipes to highlight the delicious and varied regional fare. This special rate only applies to the Punta Arenas April 7 departure and does not include port taxes and fees.
