Castro, Chile

See stilt houses and historic churches. Set among the lush vegetation of Chiloe Island, Castro is Chile's third-oldest city. It's home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, namely Iglesia San Francisco and Iglesia Nuestra Senora de Gracia de Nercon. From various vantage points, enjoy great views of the city's colorful 'palafitos', which are stilt houses situated along the waterfront. For a bit of culture, head to the Regional Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.

Puerto Eden, Chile, Chile

Discover Kawesqar culture in a Patagonian village. Set at the end of a deep fjord, our next stop is the enchanting village of Puerto Eden, set in Bernardo O'Higgins National Park.

Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica

Experience Antarctica in all its natural majesty. Nothing prepares you for your first sight of Antarctica's immense, frozen beauty. Icebergs, sculpted by nature, float in the straits. Gentoo and chinstrap penguins court while Adelie penguins nest. Countless seabirds wheel overhead. Nature is in charge. During the next seven days, you'll be busy exploring several landing sites. There are more than 20 possible sites on and around the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. It doesn't matter where we go or what we do, every day will be thrilling and unlike anything you've experienced before. We might sail into a flooded volcanic caldera or land in icy bays where remnants of whaling paraphernalia lie abandoned. You may also have the chance to kayak among icebergs and seals or snowshoe to a stunning viewpoint. Bird enthusiasts should look skyward for Antarctic seabirds such as skuas, petrels, and terns. Through onboard lectures and onshore talks, you'll learn more about this precious habitat and how we can all protect it for the future. ...
