    Loved the expedition, awesome way to experience Patagonia. Excursions and zodiac rides were perfect (apart from the cold and wind). Now, back home on dry land, we're missing gazing out of our cabin window or having a pisco sour in the bar, staring at glaciers.

Patagonia Small Ships

Small ships through Patagonia provide travelers an opportunity that is simply impossible by larger or smaller vessels. The expedition vessels we offer hit the ideal sweet-spot with ships that are big enough to be safe and stable, and small enough to access tight bays, glaciers and inlets. Choose one of these small Patagonia ships with shallow-drafts for unparalleled access and the highest level of safety and comfort. Look for elephant seals off the bow, easily get on land to see wildlife such as penguins and travel up-close to glaciers via inflatable skiff. There is ample time off ship to explore, and plenty of peaceful nights in remote coves.
