Reflejos
- Join our austral spring expedition cruise from Valparaíso, through Patagonia, and down to Antarctica.
- See penguins in the midst of their courting and nesting rituals!
From Valparaíso, tour the Chilean fjords and waterways of Patagonia, stopping at rustic Castro, isolated Puerto Edén, and Puerto Natales, where you may have the chance to hike in Torres del Paine National Park. Weather permitting, we’ll attempt to land at legendary Cape Horn before crossing the Drake Passage.
Guided by your Expedition Team, you’ll spend four incredible days exploring Antarctica’s immense, pristine icescapes. Springtime is courting season, meaning you will be able to observe penguins’ mating rituals. There is no set schedule. We adapt our itinerary and seize every opportunity to get closer to nature and enjoy unique experiences while ice-cruising and on landings.

Valparaíso, a UNESCO gem
Discover Valparaíso, the ‘Jewel of the Pacific’
Your Antarctica and Patagonia expedition cruise begins in colorful Valparaíso. Known as the ‘Jewel of the Pacific’, this friendly UNESCO-listed city is built on steep hillsides overlooking the ocean.
Filled with enticing scents and sounds, it’s an exhilarating maze of alleyways and barrios, colorful houses, and ‘mercados’ packed with local produce. Take it all in on a funicular ride up to Cerro Alegre and Concepción.
You can explore more of the region on one of our optional Pre-Programs.
