Well done Punta Arenas. Now Chile develop Puerto Williams and take all the expedition cruise traffic off Ushuaia.

Cruising is all about friendship and trade. It is interesting to note that Argentina came under a barrage of criticism at the WTO the other week where the US, EU, Japan and 10 other countries accused it of tying up imports in red tape when CFK and Co imposed a new system to pre-approve or reject every purchase from abroad.

Best news on the cruise front we have gotten this year.

Stick it up Ushuaia well and truly.

It´s a very good notice specially when comes the chance to protect that pristine enviroment and let know the whole world that everybody wants to avoid more “Bahia Paraiso” pollution and some other floating rubbish to stay off there.
