Expedition cruising
Patagonia
Patagonia: a triangle of land at the end of the world, with calving glaciers, shattered fjords and jagged mountains.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet

As a local Argentina B Corp Travel Company, we hold a deep appreciation for the Earth's natural wonders and understand the importance of their preservation. However, we believe that sustainability alone is insufficient. Travel, in our view, is a potent instrument for creating a positive impact on the destinations we explore.


CARBON REDUCTION

-Sea-Based Route Optimization
The cruise links Ushuaia and Punta Arenas through a continuous maritime route, reducing reliance on overland transport in remote southern Patagonia.

-Controlled Access to Sensitive Sites
Zodiac landings and guided shore excursions at Cape Horn, Pía Glacier, Garibaldi Glacier, and Águila Glacier are carefully managed to limit environmental impact.

-Say Bosque Regeneration Commitment
Through Say Bosque initiative, each journey contributes directly to native forest restoration projects in Patagonia, embedding carbon reduction and regeneration into the cost of travel itself. In collaboration with ReforestArg, we plant ten trees for every traveler to contribute to the cherished landscapes we adore.
Twice a year, we journey to Cholila, Chubut – Argentine Patagonia – to plant these trees, playing our part in preserving native forests, bolstering the local community, and giving back to Mother Earth.


ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

-Wildlife Protection Protocols
Wildlife observation at Magdalena Island, Marta Island (seasonal), and Cóndor Glacier follows strict guidelines to safeguard penguin colonies, marine mammals, and birdlife.

-Environmental Education
Onboard briefings and guided excursions emphasize glaciology, biodiversity, and conservation challenges in subpolar environments.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY

-Regional Economic Integration
The cruise supports local economies through port operations, provisioning, and tourism services in Ushuaia and Punta Arenas.

-Cultural Heritage Preservation
Interpretation at Wulaia Bay highlights Indigenous history and early settlement in Tierra del Fuego.


EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

-Skilled Employment Creation
Expedition cruising generates stable employment for maritime crews, naturalists, guides, and hospitality staff in remote regions.

-Inclusive Experience Design
A range of activity levels—from Zodiac navigation to optional hikes—allows participation across diverse traveler profiles.
