On the modern expedition cruise ships of the Cruceros Australis line, you can explore the legendary waterways plied by early European navigators and the native inhabitants of this remote South American region, an area as beautiful as it is still untamed.
Cruceros Australis has been sharing this unforgettable experience at “the far end of the earth” since 1991. The M/V Mare Australis was built in 2002 and the M/V Via Australis in 2005. Both ships have four decks, and 63 or 64 cabins in three categories, all with private facilities, lower berths and panoramic windows. Daily shore excursions by inflatable Zodiac landing craft accompanied by a lecture programme on the region's flora, fauna, history and geography are included.
Meals featuring fresh local produce and an open bar serving soft drinks, wines and selected liquors are also included in your cruise fare.
Cruceros Australis is a truly enjoyable way to experience the spectacular southern scenery of these remote regions.
