ONCE IN A LIFETIME: TANGO CRUISE
FROM CHILE AROUND CAPE HORN TO BUENOS AIRES
15th February- 1st March 2009

We begin our 14-day tango cruise on the luxurious cruise ship “INFINITY”: our home away from home! From Valparaiso near Santiago de Chile, we will head south via La Serena down to Punta Arenas and the Straight of Magellan up to Buenos Aires. The highlight will be no doubt cruising around the legendary Cape Horn, the southern-most point of the continent. We will witness the amazing sight of numerous penguin colonies, and the Chilean Fjords with its jagged walls and mammoth glaciers known as some of the most magnificent fjords in the world – truly an unforgettable travel experience!
In ports of Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia and the “Tierra del Fuego”, where mountain and sea come together, our aim is to explore Patagonia, one of the most unique places on earth. We will also visit Montevideo and Punta del Este with its beautiful beaches before we arrive in Buenos Aires.
This cruise offers an ideal time to prepare for your stay in Buenos Aires: there will be the opportunity on board to build on your Tango skills by attending the tango classes with Adriana Dure and Fabrizio Forti. Of course, Practicas and nightly Milongas compliment this extraordinary cruise. And there will be ample time to relax and enjoy the ambience of the ship with its many amenities.
Your reaction to this cruise will be: “This is a dream of a lifetime”.
