Today we said adious to Ushuaia.
We boarded a totally different ship, the Mare Australis, which is Chilean. It was more luxurious than the Akademik Shokalsky. We had a huge bed and a large adjoining bathroom, room 109. The dining room was huge and people were seated around circular tables, eight people to a table. Around our table were seated four Americans, an Irish couple and us.
We depared Ushuaia Bay late in the aftrnoon. From Ushuaia, which is in Argentina, we crossed into Chilean waters; therefore, this ship sailed closer to Puerto Williams. We sailed west following the Canal de Beagle passed Puerto Navarino to Cabo de Hornos (Cape Horn).
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
