Reviews of Baie Romanche

Romanche Bay is on the Beagle Canal, close to Gordon Island in Terra del Fuego, part of Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia.

My suggestion:
The water can get choppy in this part of the world, so if you get seasick make sure you have some anti-nausea pills to hand.
My review

Romanche Bay is close to Seno Pia, a fjord situated in the Darwin Cordillera in southern Patagonia. 

It was on the 8th day of my cruise around the Tierra del Fuego that we arrived at Romanche Bay, Seno Pia and its namesake glacier. Following in Darwin's footsteps, we toured the glacier's valleys and endless forests whilst also spotting a host of wildlife.

When the weather's fine, the water's calm and it's soothing to sit on deck and enjoy the gentle swells. Be warned that the cruise from Puerto Williams to Ushuaïa takes a dozen or so days and it can feel long if the water's choppy... If you want to spend less time on a boat and still benefit from beautiful landscapes, I suggest you go on the cruise from Punta Arenas to Ushuaïa.
