Punta Arenas Cruise Reviews

When there were penguins at Seno Ottway, this was a wonderful stop. However, mining activities are believed by some to have led to the penguins' departure three years ago. So now you just have a pleasant little market place to buy wonderful woolley clothes, and take advantage of the free Chilean Wi-fi. ...

Penguin trip may have been good. Didn't hear from anyone. The town was cold and drizzly so not much to see or do. We actually walked about 5-6 miles to the Magellan ship replicas. A mistake since it was too far. ...

Very strong winds required 18 lines and 2 tugs to keep us up against the dock! From the dock you can catch buses into town.

Free shuttle coaches from ship to town which was quite a way away, although we did spot a pedestrian path whcih seemed to go all the way. Nice little town and museum (although the main one was closed on the day we emabarked). Nice town square with lots going on and amazing weather (although cold in October). We walked to the viewpoint on top of the highest hill around where you could see good ...

Pleasant to walk around. The municipal cemetery was interesting. ...

Took local bus (need Chilian pesos) to Nao Victoria Museo where there replicas of Beagle, Shackleton's lifeboat from Antarctic, Ferdinand Magellan and others. Experience well worth effort. ...

Enjoyed this port. Lots of free museums. Cemetery worth a look. Taxi to open air nautical museum ~£10. Museum is pay entry, but has full size replica ships. Avoid the coffee! ...

we hired a cabbie to take us to the monuments. I wanted to eat some fresh giant crab but sadly I was outvoted. we got these gourmet pizzas and they were delsicious. ...

Hilly town, walkable. Very little to see in town. Souvenir shopping along port. ...

Not much to see here ...
