Skorpios II

Skorpios II, Patagonia Cruise Ship

Overview

Built in Chilean shipyards and fully remodeled in 2012, the M/V Skorpios II is the perfect vessel for exploring the wild landscapes, glaciers, and fjords of Chilean Patagonia. Its homey interior and up-to-date technology allow passengers to travel to these remote regions rapidly and comfortably.

The Skorpios II is a 70-meter A1 Ice Class rated vessel, meaning it has access to narrow straits and iced waterways that are off-limits to other ships. Its 2.9-meter draft is ideally suited to navigating the Chiloé, Guaitecas, and Chonos archipelagos, as well as the fjords of Patagonia’s stunning Lake Region. Best of all, its experienced crew of stewards and local guides helps passengers get the most from their Patagonia voyage, on board and during exciting excursions ashore.

Cabins

The Skorpios II offers a total of 55 cabins distributed over five decks, each with a different combination of king, queen, and twin beds. Passengers can choose from master or junior suites, as well as double or triple standard cabins. Nearly all cabins on the upper decks have large portholes facing outward, and all feature handsome wood paneling, as well as private showers, toilets, and plasma TVs.

Common Areas

The Skorpios II’s on-board amenities cause it to feel like a floating rustic inn. They include a spacious dining room with large windows for panoramic viewing (as well a chef preparing international cuisine) and two café-lounges for games and educational talks by the ship’s resident guides. Deck areas are maximized to allow passengers to go topside during good weather.
