Skorpios
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.
