3 Reasons Why You Should Take a Patagonia Expedition Cruise on your vacation to Patagonia

Updated: May 24, 2022

With so much to see and so many things to do in this breathtaking region, planning a trip to Patagonia can be overwhelming for many visitors, no matter how much experience and enthusiasm they have..

This charming southern region of South America covers more than one thousand square kilometers and offers travelers a diversity of landscapes, from immense national parks to lakes, glaciers, and imposing fjords. So, it is a perfect destination to be explored both on land and by a luxury Expedition cruise ship.

But first, What is a Patagonia Luxury Expedition Cruise?


Luxury Expedition cruising is much like traditional cruising but with more emphasis on the experience ashore and excursions– many of which are off-the-beaten-track destinations.


Expedition cruises are small ships that can navigate narrow fjords and shallow bays where larger vessels cannot venture, and they’re equipped with Zodiacs so that you can access remote regions close up. Rather than sitting by the pool with a cocktail, the goal of a Luxury expedition cruise is to bring guests onboard closer to nature!


If you are not convinced yet, continue reading this article and find out the three reasons why you should take a cruise in Patagonia.

1- Patagonia Cruise: Think About the Comfort & time saving


Cruising in Patagonia is a great way to indulge in the beauty of its scenery in a very comfortable way. Taking an expedition cruise will allow you to cover more extensive distances in a few days. You will connect the Argentinean Patagonia ( Ushuaia) with Chilean Patagonia ( Punta Arenas).

2- Patagonia Cruise: Reach Remote Regions


Taking a Patagonia expedition allows you to reach and admire areas untouched by humankind and rarely seen by tourists that are not easily reachable by land, offering you a unique experience. Also, during a cruise, you can catch a glimpse of the mesmerizing marine life from a different point of view.
