MV Stella Australis

Tailor-made for exploring the remote southern tip of South America, all aspects of Ventus Australis — including size, length, draft, and engine power — are designed to give the ship the manoeuvrability to navigate narrow fjords and channels.

The Stella Australis has 100 cabins and a capacity for 210 guests.

Guests are joined by expert local guides on board who lead excursions to the shore. These excursions will involve visiting virtually untouched areas of Tierra del Fuego, including glaciers and animal colonies. Your excursions see you disembark the boat onto small Zodiacs. In the evenings there are entertainments and lectures on the flora and fauna of the area.
