Skorpio Cruises to the Patagonian Ice Fields
Cruceros Maritimos Skorpios began its cruises to the San Rafael Glacier in 1976 with the small cargo ship M/N Mimi, transporting only 12 passengers per voyage at that time. Later, in 1978, the M/N Skorpios I was initiated, the first tourism vessel for the company and for Chile. This vessel is still in service today in Chile's southern channels
To date this vessel has carried out more that 600 cruises to the San Rafael Lagoon, transforming itself into a symbol of tourism in Chile. In 1978, the M/N Skorpios II was inaugurated with an investment of $USD 10,000.000.00. This Cruise Vessel has a capacity of up to 160 passengers, and of the three vessels in the Skorpios Cruise fleet, has the largest capacity
In 1995, the company inaugurated a new cruise vessel, the M/N Skorpios III, with an investment of USD $15,000,000.00. All of the experience in nautical hotelier has been brought together to create a concept of ‘excellence in service'.
Today M/N Skorpios III navigates under the slogan ‘Our Super Class'; every one of its beds are low, with a capacity for 125 passengers, all of which our enterprise is proud of. Actually the Skorpios enterprise, is leader in the area of cruise tourism in Chile. With pride we can say we have been able to transport more that 125,000 passengers through the channels of the Chilean Patagonia.
