- Wow - what can I say? My Patagonia 4-day expedition cruise with boutique cruise liner Australis was extraordinary. It was part of a longer trip to Chile and Argentina but the four days I spent on board Ventus Australis (a brand new ship) will forever hold a special place in my heart. Patagonia is a surreal land at the end of the world where few people ever get to explore. Each day was filled with amazing hikes where we saw extraordinary scenery in the Tierra del Fuego like glaciers, moraines and sweeping panoramas of the snow-capped Andes. We also saw fabulous wildlife (penguins, condors, dolphins) and made it onto Cape Horn Island, the very southernmost point of South America. And life on board was every bit as fabulous, with great crew, cabins, cuisine and wines. This video will give you a flavour of everything we did, including the exciting Zodiac rides which took us from the ship onto land. And I've made another video giving an in depth look at my cabin on board Ventus Australis if you want to see more. I just wish I could do the whole cruise again - that's how good it was!

Hey Jo !!!! Another great vid!!! Looks like so much fun!!!
Thank you Joe!!!! It was so much fun I wish I was still on that ship and still hiking up glaciers!!
One of my bucket list trips. Thank you for vlogging it!
It's a pleasure - really hope you get to go!
Looked fabulous 👍never really fancied a cruise but I would definitely do that one 👌👏👏👏
I know - this one hardly feels like a cruise at all. It's more like one big adventure and the only way you can see that part of the world is by ship anyway! So there were lots of people on it that had never cruised before! We'll get you on a ship yet Oliver!
How long were you in Chile and Argentina for and what was your itinerary?
I was there for 14 nightsdays. 3 nights Santiago; 1 night pre-cruise in Punta Arenas; 4 nights on the cruise; 1 night in Buenos Aires; 4 nights in Pucon (that's Chile's Lake District and I will be posting videos of that in the coming weeks - I've just posted one of a thermal springs heated by a volcano) and 1 last night in Santiago before getting my plane back home. Hope that helps. But if I hadn't been constrained by time (I took my kids with and school holidays at Xmas are short) I'd have preferred to go slower and take 3 weeks. I'd have liked more time in Buenos Aires, more time to visit Valparaiso (outside Santiago) and more time in Pucon to relax a bit more in some sunshine by a mountain lake...and there's loads more of Chile I'm still keen to see, but that will have to wait!
ok
apt for oldies or just for young and adventurous? average of of travelers?
Mine was a family sailing and the demographic was much younger than normal, but this is fine for fitter oldies. There are different hikes available in each stop and you can choose the one which suits your level. They give good descriptions of each one to help you make up your mind. There's always a gentle one available. But there were definitely plenty of over 70s who were sailing with us and enjoying it....
0:20 1:44 In the background Ainsworth Bay and Marinelli Glacier (Chile); 3:34 'Pía' Glacier (Chile); 4:00 Glacier and snowdrift 'Romanche' (Chile); 4:14 Cape Horn Archipelago (Chile); 5:13 General view Wulaia Bay (Chile) I am Chilean and it seems disrespectful to me and my country that you allude to "Argentina" in the description considering that all the landscapes and sites that appear in your video are from Chile; even his tour ship Venturis Australis has a Chilean port city "Punta Arenas" marked. Lastly, Argentina doesn't even have these coastal seascapes. I presume her bad faith and I cordially summon her to amend that mistake.
Andy, my reference to Argentina is that the cruise ENDS in Argentina - it started in Chile in Punta Arenas as you said and finished in Argentina in Ushuaia. These were the facts
