Our two trusty exploration vessels, Stella Australis and Ventus Australis, both provide a perfect balance between onboard comforts, stylish lounge areas and fantastic food, with outright adventure, expert guides and a real pioneering spirit too. The ships themselves are more agile than most, making them ideal for navigating the tricky canals and tight waterways∘ of southern Patagonia, though they are also completely at ease in rough or icy seas if the weather is not on our side. Onboard, the décor in each of the cabins is low-key though modern and sophisticated, while reading rooms and an observation deck let the stunning landscapes do the talking, as they gently pass you by.
