Cape Horn - South America

The southernmost tip of South America, where the Pacific and Atlantic oceans meet.  A Cape Horn cruise generally encompasses the Beagle Channel and the famed Strait of Magellan, long the only available passage between the two great oceans before the Panama Canal was opened.  Feared by sailors of old because of the hazards caused by ice bergs, today's small expedition ships allow you to safely and comfortably experience this remote sliver of the world.  Journey with Cruceros Australis for close encounters with fjords, glaciers, icebergs, penguins and elephant seals in an environment that is surprising, diverse and breathtaking.
