Visitors on Argentina tours flock to view the magnificent glaciers of Southern Patagonia, especially for the unforgettable experience of watching skyscraper-size chunks drop from the turquoise face of Perito Moreno. Our Leal Cruise Tour Extension eliminates the tourist frenzy from this otherworldly experience, spending two glorious days among the glaciers of Los Glaciares National Park. This remote 6,600 sq mile region of rivers, lakes and fjords contains sixty-three glaciers, some blinding white and others deep blue. The Leal offers non-stop panoramic views, whether standing on the vessel's broad bridge in the invigorating Patagonian air or from the wide windows in the warm comfort of its roomy interior. Elegantly appointed, the Leal's seven cabins and ample common areas, fine dining and relaxing interludes make a memorable Patagonia tour. Your experience will be enhanced by English-speaking guides with expertise in glacial geology and nautical topics. If weather permits, trout fishing on the lake may be possible. The most spectacular seat from which to witness the silent grandeur and crashing roar of Patagonia's glaciers is from the front row. Aboard the Leal, you'll have the best seats in the house.

"Even in a lifetime of travel and adventure nothing can quite compare with this remarkable trip to the glaciers of Patagonia - Upsala, Spegazzini and Perito Moreno. In summer sunshine and with spectacular clouds, the combination of the turquoise waters of the enormous Lago Argentino and its tributaries, the towering rocky crags (whether barren or afforested) rising sheer out of the lake and the magnificent backdrops of the snow-clad mountain peaks, constitutes yet another "miracle of nature." It would be difficult to imagine something more memorable than weaving our passage through a dramatic seascape of icebergs and drifting ice to reach the very head of the glaciers and marvel at their variety of forms and colours. It was an added thrill to witness huge chunks of ice fall away from the glacier face and crash into the water below with a thunderous roar." Our grateful thanks to the Captain and crew of the Leal - The Spirit of the Glaciers- and to our guide Stella for their skill, care and attention throughout an unforgettable two-day voyage of discovery"
