There are two ships running these programs, the Via Australis and the Stella Australis, they carry Zodiac boats as well which are used for land and water excursions during the several stops of each journey.

The Australis cruises rates are in U.S. dollars per person considering double occupancy. For one person per cabin (single occupancy), please multiply the given rate x 1.5 (single rates apply in all categories).
For seven night trips (Stella Australis only) it is necessary to add the 4 night rate + the 3 night rate and then to apply a 10% discount to the resulting total.
There are extra fees to consider: migration fee, port tax and park entrance fee. The total for these extra fees are $50 for the 3 and 4 night trips and $60 for the 7 night cruise.
There are two different one way itineraries for 2016/2017 both onboard the Stella Australis that will allow the passengers to see and perhaps disembark at Cape Horn, which is the southernmost piece of land of South America. Click on maps for larger images
