M/V Ventus Australis

The M/V Ventus Australis, Latin for "Southern Wind", launched in January 2018, is custom-made for exploring South America's remote southern tip. Everything about the 210 passenger ship including size, length, draft and engines is designed to give M/V Ventus Australis the necessary maneuverability to navigate narrow fjords and channels where no other cruise ship can venture. M/V Ventus Australis complies with the latest regulations regarding safety at sea and protecting the marine environment, as all of Australis Patagonia fleet does.

The 110 spacious cabins feature cozy beds, full bathrooms and panoramic views of the Patagonian landscape unfolding outside. The dining room provides buffet breakfasts and lunches and four-course dinners that blend continental and Chilean cuisine. The galley also caters to special dietary requests. The all-inclusive bar features a wide selection of excellent Chilean wines, liquors, and local craft beers, as well as the trademark Calafate Sour.

Onboard the M/V Ventus Australis is a library with extensive literature on Patagonian flora, fauna and history. Or passengers can enjoy board games and other onboard entertainment activities. Zodiac boats are used for shore excursions, easily navigating remote bays and shallow waters. During the voyage, English-speaking guides and guest lectures deliver presentations and slide shows on many aspects of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.

Protection of the Environment The protection and preservation of nature is a permanent preoccupation of Cruceros Australis. For such purpose, we use specialized processes to prevent damaging the beautiful spots of the region, such as the separation of oil waste and other contaminating fluids, which are later deposited at port; compacting and deposit of garbage at port, and a sewage and solid waste treatment plant.
