Chile Cruises

The most ideal time to cruise to Chile depends on the itinerary, destination, and activities of your choice. The high season is during the Chilean summer, between November and February, offering longer days and warm temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities. It’s also the ideal time to visit the Chilean Fjords and the rugged Patagonia region. For smaller crowds and still favourable weather conditions, the shoulder season is October and April.

Many of our partner major cruise lines offer cruise itineraries that sail to Chile, including Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International and Azamara.

The major and most popular cruise ports in Chile are Valparaiso, Punta Arenas, San Antonio, and Iquique. Some of the other port cities are Antofagasta, Arica, Castro, Coquimbo, Niebla and more!

Spanish is the official language in Chile, so it’ll be handy to learn a few Spanish words and phrases to be able to interact and communicate with the locals during your visit. Whilst Spanish is the widely spoken language, English is also often used.

Chilean peso is the official currency in Chile, so transactions are easier and smoother if you use the local currency. ATMs are widely available across the country and exchange rates are usually good.
