Overview

Winding channels, snow-covered mountains, majestic glaciers and narrow passages: welcome to the magic of the Chilean fjords. PONANT is inviting you aboard Le Lyrial for an 14-day expedition cruise to the heart of South America’s extraordinary landscapes. You will set sail from the fascinating city of Ushuaia, which the Argentinians call El fin del mundo (the end of the world).

Your ship will then head North to Tortel and its charming stilt houses interconnected by a labyrinth of wooden footbridges. You will also discover several glaciers (for example Pie XI and El Brujo) before the unforgettable...read more experience of sailing along the Strait of Magellan and in the Ainsworth Bay. Pursue your journey through the fjords and glaciers of Patagonia in a unique atmosphere that will delight photography enthusiasts.

You will glimpse the majestic Aguila, Agostini and Garibaldi glaciers and then sail around the mythical Cape Horn, south of the Big Island of Tierra del Fuego. You will be captivated at Puerto Montt by the incomparable beauty of the landscapes in this capital of the Lake District, before heading back to Ushuaia, the final destination on your trip.
