Things to know before booking your Spirit of the Glaciers cruise

  • This is an overnight cruise experience lasting 22 hours, starting at 6pm on day one and ending at 4pm the following day. The itinerary is designed to combine navigation, guided landings, dining, and onboard relaxation without rushing the experience.
  • Bookings must be made for a minimum of two passengers per reservation. All cabins are double occupancy only, and it is not possible to add a third bed.
  • You can choose from three cabin categories, all of which feature exterior views and private bathrooms. Deluxe Cabins are located on the sides of the first and second decks and offer 12 m² of space.

Grand Suite is located at the rear of the second deck and includes a private balcony with 23 m² of space for a more exclusive stay.

  • Comfortable, non-slip walking shoes are strongly recommended for guided landings, including forest paths and the waterfall visit, where terrain may be uneven or damp.
  • If you are prone to motion sensitivity, carrying seasickness medication can help ensure a relaxed crossing on Lake Argentino.
  • Guests with specific health concerns are encouraged to inform staff in advance, allowing the crew to provide attentive support throughout the journey.
