We are thrilled to share that our new beautiful ship, Magellan Explorer, was christened on November 8, 2019 during a moving ceremony in Punta Arenas. It was an emotional event, attended by over 200 people who, in one form or another, have been connected to this exciting project.After the ceremony, the vessel set off for an overnight cruise with our friends and family members. It was the first opportunity to test the ship for guest operations, including boarding procedures, hospitality, dining, zodiac operations etc. Below are some images from that trip.Thank you for following along with us. We're now very much looking forward to welcoming your guests and delivering our personalized, boutique service on board our beautiful, new ship.
