Cape Horn

Cape Horn

Chile

Introduction to Port

Cape Horn sets itself apart from every other cruise port with its raw, wind-blown drama where the Atlantic and Pacific clash against jagged cliffs and roaring seas. Here, signature experiences feel almost cinematic: a ship gliding into spray to behold the Cape Horn Lighthouse on Isla Hornos, a guided walk to wind-sculpted promontories, and a Zodiac excursion to secluded coves that host seabird colonies and sculpted rock formations. The destination offers access to Patagonia’s southern frontier—drama-filled routes that thread through the Drake Passage, connect remote Chilean islands, and showcase archipelagos that cradle penguin rookeries and distant glaciers in the distance. The fleet commonly chosen for Cape Horn itineraries blends expedition-grade capability with refined comfort: reinforced hulls for open-sea passages, enhanced stability, and deck layouts designed for panoramic wildlife viewing from expansive observation lounges and outdoor promenades. Onboard services elevate the experience with Chilean-inspired dining featuring fresh seafood and produce from southern markets, spa and wellness options that revive after a brisk crossing, and expert naturalists who provide real-time briefings about wind, currents, and marine life, turning every moment on deck into a deeper education in resilience and exploration.
