A Practical Guide to Cruises in South Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego

The following is a collection of recommendations, suggestions, and information useful to prospective passengers touring South Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego aboard the cruise ship M.V. Mare Australis. Hopefully, this will answer some frequently asked questions.  (FAQ's)
 

Climate
During the season, between October and April, the temperature ranges between 41º F (5º C) and 15º F (15º C).  

Electric Power
Cabins are equipped with 200-volt plugs.  In bathrooms, there are outlets for both 220-volts and 110-volts.  

Languages
Official languages onboard are Spanish and English.  However, guides speaking French, German, and Italian will be available.  

Safe Deposit Box
There is a safe deposit box in each cabin for your valuables.  

Tips
At the end of the cruise you will find an envelope in your cabin in which each passenger will decide how much to leave as a tip.  We suggest US $8 to US $10 daily per person, which will be distributed among the personnel that waited on you.  

Currency and Payment Onboard
Personal consumption such as souvenirs, videos, sportswear, and others can be paid with Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diners credit cards, travelers checks, US dollars, Euros, or Chilean pesos.  

Visa and Passport
Visa / Passport requirements vary according to the passenger's country of origin, which will be verified at the time of making reservations.  Each passenger is responsible for carrying the necessary documents to enter Argentinean and Chilean territory.  Minors not traveling with both parents must carry an authorization of the absent parent signed before a notary public.  

Shop Onboard
There is a shop onboard where you will find exclusive designs for Mare Australis in sportswear, souvenirs, gifts, and items for personal use.  

Elevators
The ship does not have elevators or equipment necessary for the handicapped.  

Laundry
As there is no laundry onboard, we hire this service at a laundry in Ushuaia.  Prices will be shown in your cabin and the service will be charged to your current account.  

Clothes
We suggest sportswear and something more formal, if you wish, for the cruise farewell dinner.  For the excursions it is necessary to bring sweaters, parkas, a cap, gloves, sun-block, sunglasses and trekking shoes or boots.  
 
Required Clothing for the Expeditions
