From New Cruise Ships to Adventurous Itineraries, There’s More to Come for Cruising in 2022
"On the heels of launching its new expedition ship, Sylvia Earle, in November 2022, Aurora Expeditions will launch new Patagonia trek itineraries through Chile. According to the adventure line, the new itineraries will “dovetail seamlessly” as an add-on tour to its Antarctic expeditions, many of which set off from Ushuaia, Argentina. (Transportation between Argentina and Chile is arranged as part of the tours.) On the 10-day itineraries, travelers will hike rugged paths to sites like the Perito Moreno Glacier and the Ascencio Valley. There will be plenty of wildlife sightings along the way, including Andean condors, rheas, flamingoes, and guanacos. Even better: The tours are limited to a small group of just 20 hikers, ensuring the serenity of the glacial lakes and snow-capped mountains remains intact. Once on board the Sylvia Earle, travelers can unwind in a heated saltwater pool, as well as participate in classic expedition activities, like citizen science programs, Zodiac boat rides, and more."
