Dear god no, I have zero desire to be somewhere even colder.

Quark. We went during prime time (school break for the holidays) but was able to get a discount through our travel agent. Still pricey and don’t remember the exact cost (know it’s cheaper if you go shoulder season) but it was about $15k pp for I think 10-12 days (food, wine, WiFi included).


So 60k for a family of four. Just a lil’ bit out of my price range.


You’d likely get a discount for more people. I am a single mom of one. I also know Ponant offers I believe it’s a 50% discount for kids under 18.


So ONLY 45k for a family of four!

If you are travelling with kids/teens, note that for a lot of the activities - kayaking, polar plunge, most of the operators require participants to be at least age 16.

Also, if you are going in and out of Chile with a minor, be aware of the "Entry/Exit Requirements for Minors (under 18)": https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Chile.html
