Today I want to share two very important topics that are especially relevant if you’re cruising to Punta Arenas, Chile on an Antarctica itinerary.
First, we talk about recent changes in the Princess Cruises app, including the new travel information section, how embarkation windows are now displayed, and what to expect when entering your flight details. I also share reminders about boarding passes, QR codes, and why I always recommend taking screenshots—just in case Wi-Fi is spotty at the terminal. If you’re having trouble adding a credit card in the app, I explain what to do and why keeping your app updated really matters.
Next, I spend quite a bit of time walking through shore excursions in Punta Arenas, with a special focus on the Magdalena Island Penguin Reserve. This is an incredible experience, but it is not as simple or accessible as the description may sound. I explain the full process step by step: tender boats, additional boat transfers, steep ramps, wet landings, limited facilities, standing and walking time, weather conditions, and why mobility challenges need to be carefully considered—even when an excursion is not clearly marked as inaccessible.
I also share our experience on the Best of Punta Arenas excursion, what worked well, what mobility limitations to be aware of, and why researching excursions through videos can make such a big difference. My goal is always to help you set realistic expectations so your day isn’t spoiled by surprises.
If you’re planning an Antarctica cruise, especially with Princess, I hope this helps you feel more prepared and confident. Please let me know your questions in the comments—I truly love hearing from you. God bless you. 💙⚓️
