The purpose-built Stella Australis exploration vessel is ideal for discovering the fjords of Patagonia. Onboard, the décor in each of the 100 cabins is low-key though comfortable, while spacious lounge areas and observation decks let the stunning landscape and views do the talking.


Australis' new ship, the Ventus Australis launched in January 2018 with 4 night, one-way itineraries between Punta Arenas and Ushuaia. The 100 cabin ship is designed to give Ventus Australis the extreme maneuverability necessary to the navigate narrow fjords and channels of Tierra del Fuego.

We cruised from the Chilean side to the Argentinian side for 4 nights/5 Days. -The staff and tour leaders were wonderful -We had a nice international group of people from around the world on the trip -The food was fine but nothing amazing and what I expected -We liked that it was not a formal trip and there were many places to read alone as well as meet new people. -The views and trips on land were terrific Would definitely recommend doing it
