Chile's wild-west fjord land coast is a fascinating region of unique natural beauty. Replete with ice fields stretching as far as the eyes can see, wild land of glaciers and snow-clad mountains, Chile opens up an array of unexplored vistas for the intrepid traveler. And what better way to explore the ice-lands of Chile than a glacier cruise?
Lake, Fjord and Glacier Cruises are not only one of the most comfortable ways to explore southern Chile, but in many regions they are also the only way. The ice fields of northern Patagonia have glaciers that descend into the sea and the famous San Rafael Glacier with its lagoon of drifting icebergs is accessible by cruise ship from Puerto Chacabuco. Hence a Glacier Cruise in Chile is an adventurous way to explore the wild natural beauty of Chile.

Glacier Cruises in Chile will take you through the Chiloé archipelago, the trans-Andean lakes and about 27 million acres of protected fjords and glaciers. A Chile Glacier Cruise will give you a sense of timelessness as you sail through the Strait of Magellan and the Beagle Channel, the same areas where early explorers once circumnavigated South America to connect two worlds.
Glacier Cruises to Chile are never complete without sailing past the San Rafael Glacier. It is one of the best natural splendors of Chile where the ice on the glacier dates back to over 300, 000 years. And with its ice floes of different shapes and colors, the San Rafael Glacier is a spectacle that is unique in this world. The Quitralco Fjord is famous for its unique vegetation and warm and pure waters of volcanic origin that you must see on a Glacier Cruise to Chile.

There are various cruise lines that offer exciting cruises to the Chilean glaciers. The Mare Australis cruise and the Skorpios Cruise are some of the famous cruise liners that regularly visit the glaciers and fjord lands of Chile. Glacier cruises follow a well-sailed but a spectacular route through Chile's Inside Passage, the Beagle Channel and around Cape Horn, passing through glacial valleys (notably at Laguna San Rafael), fjords and past huge icebergs.
Enjoy a glacier cruise in Chile as you encounter magnificent views of glaciers, awesome Patagonian scenery, penguins and whales and hear the echoes of giant slabs of ice calving into the lagoons.
