General

Australis Cruise takes you to navigate the untamed region of Patagonia at the bottom end of South America. A place where few can go.

Aboard Australis expedition cruise ships you will experience the heart of Patagonia among the fjords and majestic glaciers, forests and plateaus, the remote islands of Tierra del Fuego and mythical places such as the Magellan Strait, the Beagle Channel and Cape Horn.

All excursions are leaded by specialists in geography, glaciology, history, flora and fauna, who will help you interpret the impressive views and tours with useful information and knowledge. 

Australis cruises boast an all-inclusive bar and meals system. You’ll be able to enjoy the diversity and excellence of its international cuisine, with a themed buffet lunch, à la carte dinner and a wide variety of selected wines and spirits. 

It is the perfect combination of adventure and comfort. 

Australis boast two “twin” vessels – Stella and Ventus – both especially designed to navigate across South America’s southernmost channels. Their features and technology were designed to maneuver in Tierra del Fuego’s narrowest channels and fjords, where no other cruise can venture. 

With 100 spacious cabins, all of which overlook the exterior, both ships have been carefully decorated, offering maximum interior comfort and spectacular views from virtually all parts of the ship. In Yámana, Sky and Darwin Halls, guests coming from all places of the world, can share experiences and enjoy the best onboard service.

Australis cruises have been ranked in the World’s Top 3 of Small Oceans Cruises category.
