Past Customer Feedback
"The cruise on the Mare Australis was truely incredible. The accommodations onboard combined with the gourmet meals gave us the sense that we were staying at a 5 star hotel with an indescribably beautiful ocean front view (all the time). Our crew, guides and staff were really friendly, knowledgeable, and glowingly proud of the astounding natural features of Tierra del Fuego and Chilean Patagonia regions. The oceans and currents around Cape Horn are quite rough and the Mare Australis is not immune to rocking and heaving in heavy swells. We decided that it added to the adventure and really gave us an appreciation for what the sailors and exploreres who rounded the Cape generations before us had to endure - and in much less comfort!"
