Prepare
your "sea legs" and choose an adventure!
In
countries like Chile and Ecuador, some of the greatest exploratory
pleasures can be found in the surrounding lakes and Ocean. Wildlife
flocks to the Islands of Galapagos,
and the spectacular reefs call from beneath the sea. Meanwhile,
Chile
provides a stark contrast by providing
breath-taking glaciers and forgotten seascapes, stretching south
towards Antarctica. To bring these fantastic adventures within
reach, Lost World Adventures provides various opportunities
to actively experience the surroundings and remain in the care
of first class accommodations aboard select Cruises.
The M/Y
Coral 2 is a beautiful vessel with space for 20 passengers.
The Coral ventures through the Galapagos Islands and provides
opportunities to see dolphins, whales, sea lions and penguins.
As you continue to sail, pelicans and other various birds soar
around the boat, while marine Iguana sun themselves on the hardened
lava formations on Bartolome Island. There will be many chances
to disembark and explore the landscapes of the isles on foot.
The Coral is equipped with three decks, 6 standard cabins and
two master cabins. The smaller size of this vessel allows for
a more personal atmosphere, where you can enjoy fine dining,
air-conditioned cabins and friendly service. We have several
itineraries
with the Coral 2 to choose from.
A second option in the Galapagos is the large luxury vessel
known as the M/V
Galapagos Explorer II. This commanding cruise ship
is over 293 ft and includes 53 air-conditioned suites. Of course,
the Explorer also offers a swimming pool, jacuzzi, solarium,
fine dining, three bars with live music and a large conference
room is available. Traveling at up to 17 knots, the Explorer
allows passengers to take in more of the Galapagos in less time.
Opportunities to scuba dive, snorkel, bird watch and relax on
white sand beaches will follow you throughout the cruise. With
truly top-notch service and first-rate comfort, the Explorer
is certainly the most luxurious Vessel available in the Galapagos.
Further to the south, ancient ice formations await in a wilderness
at the "end of the world". The sea cruise known as
the Skorpios
departs from Puerto
Montt, Chile and travels south through mountains,
rivers, harbors, fishing villages, and is highlighted by views
of ancient icebergs in Laguna San Rafael. The Skorpios boasts
4 beautiful decks, wide corridors, bars and rooms for 150 passengers.
Venture out of the boat, onto the ice and soak in the beauty
of "a ballet of blue and green floating icebergs".
This enchanting place is full of one of a kind views and awe-inspiring
beauty.
The Mare
Australis makes for a luxurious base while touring
through Tierra
del Fuego, the Strait of Magellan and Glacier Alley.
This is an expedition cruise, and you will make excursions twice
a day that involve hiking, nature tours and getting out to see
beautiful landscapes not reachable by any other means. Explore
coves in zodiac boats, witness sea lions, observe a huge flock
of penguins and sail through the crystal clear waters of the
southern tip of South America. The Australis will challenge
your spirit by taking you to "one of the last unspoiled
adventures on earth". The Australis adds flavor to your
travels with exquisite cuisine, including king crab and oysters.
With four decks, there is plenty of space to relax, dine or
have fun. A highlight of the boat is the thorough library, where
you are free to learn more about the rich history of Chile and
Argentina and listen to lectures on Darwin's theory of evolution.
Finally,
the Grigoriy
Mikheev, an ice-strengthened research vessel, provides
expedition cruises through the Drake Passage, the Falkland Islands
and the Polar Circle of Antarctica. You will view majestic glaciers,
impressive hotsprings, abandoned whaling stations, and encounter
unique wildlife on your walking tours or from the zodiac boats.
The cruising itineraries available in Antarctica allow for numerous
photographic
moments as well as observation of the various penguins
that abound in the region. After a long day of exciting adventures,
you will return to the ship to reflect upon the day and to relax
in the ship's lounge, bar, library, and sauna while waiting
for the Grigoriy Mikheev's international chefs to prepare delectable
meals.
