Australis’ newest ship, Ventus Australis, will set sail in January on her maiden voyage from Punta Arenas to Cape Horn and Tierra del Fuego.
During her maiden season, Ventus Australis will operate 22 four-night sailings between Ushuaia in Argentina and Punta Arenas in Chile.
Australis Australia marketing manager Michelle Mohaupt said the addition of Ventus would double capacity for the company and provide travellers with more choices as well further unique experiences.
“Australis is a small, boutique line — the only cruise operator based in Patagonia — but in Australia, the brand is enjoying more awareness amongst the trade and consumers,” Mohaupt said.
“More adventure-seeking Australians are appreciating that Australis can take them to pristine and untouched wilderness areas where no-one else goes.”
Ventus can carry 210 passengers in 100 cabins and is fitted with the latest environmental technologies to ensure the conservation of the waters she will sail in.
