Punta Arenas Cruise Reviews

I found the round trip disappointing. The first 4 days (Punta Arenas to Ushuaia) are beautiful because of the route. The second part (Ushuaia-Punta Arenas), two days at anker in a bay and almost a full night cruising the channel in front of Ushuaia. The crew of the ship is really good, especially the ones that take care of the rooms and the bar. The restaurant staff is over the top in ...

Over 30% of the crew has COVID resulting in: 1. No kayak program - on of the main activities I wanted to participate in on this trip. 2. Only offered 5 out of 12 expeditions 3. Buffet service all but 3-4 days of the trip and 2 of 4 restaurants closed. One for the entirety of the trip and one for all but 4 days. 4. Remaining staff all were extremely nice and helpful but very overworked ...

This was meant to be a once in a lifetime experience but I am going to have to have a "do-over" My cruise was fraught with disappointments.

It was not easy to travel because of the restrictions, but my husband and I decided that it was worth it. We self quarentined 10 days prior to the trip, not wanting to risk infection and the possibility of missing this "trip of a ...

My wife and I typically don't leave reviews on review sites (particularly negative reviews) but we felt obligated to share with anyone considering Australis Cruises so you can best plan your trip. WARNING! :) If you are under 35 this is not the cruise for you and the way to spend your time in Patagonia/Tierra del Fuego! Other resorts (like Remota or Explora) would be a MUCH better option. ...

Chose the cruise due to a special offer. Food was boring and bland and we were unlucky enough to be put in the late sitting dinner. One night didn't get to eat until 9pm and as it was a set menu meal didn't finish until almost 11. There should have been a rotation system! Buffets were boring and bland and breakfast was basically the same every day. Fresh fruit was in short supply and limited ...
