MarciAnn Posted May 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Has anyone done this 15 day cruise or one similar to it? Would lover to see the Chilean Fjords but I am clueless about the itinerary. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailcreek Posted May 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2023 This is a cruise I booked three years ago but because of COVID it was cancelled. I finally found a cruise that just does the Chilean fjords on Seabourn’s new expedition ship leaving from Buenos Aires to Santiago which is what we wanted so we booked it. Everything I have read says it is amazing and the scenery is spectacular. But we have not done it so hopefully someone will give us more information.

PSahoy Posted May 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2023 It’s an amazing itinerary spectacular scenery, weather can be sporadic (bring layers!) some of the excursions are almost other worldly great lectures and nature guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarciAnn Posted July 15, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted July 15, 2023 PSAhoy, Have you done this itinerary? If so, can you tell me how rough the seas were? Anything else we should know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kej1 Posted July 15, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2023 We went through the Chilean fjords when we went to Antarctica and South Georgia in 2017 on Quest. ( Santiago to BA). They were beautiful but it was cold. Highly recommend but as said before bring layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSahoy Posted July 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Seas were not that rough but there were chilly/rainy days. We did miss one day of scenic cruising through a fjord b/c of weather … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going in March 2024 to the Chilean Fjords, and I was wondering about the weather and what kind of gear to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kej1 Posted February 14 #10 Share Posted February 14 We were on the holiday cruise from Santiago to Antarctica to BA. (Dec 2017-Jan 2018) I believe we were in the Chilean fjords in late December. It was cold but we had great scenery. Since we were on our way to Antarctica we had long underwear, multiple layers and the Seabourn supplied parka and jacket. But we could view from our room, from the observation lounge on quest or outside. We only needed the layers if we were viewing outside and we often ate lunch on the patio grill under the heaters with a blanket so we were fine.

Rare markandjie Posted February 14 #11 Share Posted February 14 (edited) We did the holiday cruise in 2015-16 and loved it. The Chilean fjords were amazing and we loved the (expensive) excursion to Torres del Paine. I will say that along the southern coast we experienced the roughest waters I've ever been in... Something like 7 meter beam seas. Very few folks out and about and multiple staff said it was the first time they'd ever been seasick. Quietest I've ever seen the MDR!
