Day by day

Day 1: Puerto Montt, Embarkation

Begin your journey in the bustling port town of Puerto Montt. After boarding the vessel between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, you'll receive expedition briefings as the ship sets off into the Gulf of Corcovado. As the southern horizon opens, anticipation builds for the incredible voyage ahead. This first evening offers a chance to settle in and enjoy views of the Chilean coastline fading into the distance.

Day 2: Puyuhuapi Channel

Cruising into the Aysén region, the ship enters a mosaic of fjords and narrow channels lined with lush forest and rugged cliffs. Depending on sea conditions, you'll visit locations such as Puerto Cisnes, Puyuhuapi, or Magdalena Island. These coastal areas are rich in marine life—look for dolphins, whales, river otters, and colonies of cormorants. The remote atmosphere offers a true immersion in Patagonia’s tranquil, untouched nature.
