Marpatag Espíritu de los Glaciares

Marpatag Espíritu de los Glaciares is an extraordinary luxury expedition designed for travelers who wish to experience Patagonia in its most intimate and enchanting form. Sailing aboard the exclusive Santa Cruz cruise, guests spend a magical night surrounded by forests, ice, and silence, discovering Los Glaciares National Park from a perspective few ever witness. This is not simply a cruise, but a refined adventure that blends exploration, comfort, and deep connection with nature.

As the vessel glides into the vast waters of Lake Argentino, the atmosphere transforms. Nightfall brings a sense of calm and wonder, where the stillness of the park amplifies the beauty of the surroundings. Spacious cabins, gourmet cuisine, personalized service, and the constant presence of a bilingual guide create an experience that feels both adventurous and effortlessly elegant.

The expedition lasts two days and one night, offering a total of 22 hours immersed in Patagonia, with daily departures during the summer season. Boarding takes place in the late afternoon at Puerto La Soledad, Punta Bandera, where guests step aboard the Santa Cruz and set sail on one of two carefully curated navigation routes. Travelers may choose a single-night journey along one circuit, or extend the experience to two nights to explore both itineraries in depth.

Life on board is designed for relaxation and discovery. Guests enjoy full board with beverages, complimentary Wi-Fi, and access to inviting common areas including a panoramic restaurant, lounge bar, library, living spaces, and open decks with sweeping views of glaciers and native forests. Every detail has been crafted to ensure comfort while maintaining an authentic expedition spirit.

Each navigation route reveals a different face of the park. One itinerary explores the northern arm of the lake, combining landings at historic settlements, peaceful nights anchored in remote bays, morning walks to glacier viewpoints, and close-up navigation in front of towering ice walls. The alternate route ventures into secluded fjords and forested shores, offering guided walks through the Andean-Patagonian forest, encounters with waterfalls, and a dramatic approach to the Perito Moreno Glacier, including time to explore its iconic walkways and a final sail past its immense northern face.

Accommodation aboard the Santa Cruz elevates the experience even further. All cabins are outward-facing doubles with private bathrooms, offering warmth, privacy, and views of the Patagonian landscape. Deluxe, Premium, and Grand Suite categories vary in size and location, with the Grand Suite featuring a private balcony for those seeking the ultimate level of exclusivity.

Marpatag Espíritu de los Glaciares is ideal for travelers who dream of experiencing glaciers by day and the serenity of Patagonia by night. It is a journey where adventure meets elegance, and where every moment is shaped by nature, silence, and the timeless presence of ice.
