Seven Seas Mariner: 18-Night from Buenos Aires - February 20, 2027

Arriving in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands at 1:00 PM with only 7 hours hours before your 8:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. The town is compact, making it accessible on foot, yet offers options for longer trips to surrounding natural sites and beaches.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Mariner means a quicker disembarkation in Ushuaia, Argentina - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Explore diverse landscapes of forests, rivers, and mountains in Tierra del Fuego National Park.

Your ship arrives in Punta Arenas, Chile at 10:30 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Take a boat tour to Magdalena Island to observe large colonies of Magellanic penguins up close.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Puerto Montt, Chile, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Explore Angelmó, the town's iconic market, where locals sell fresh seafood, artisan crafts, and regional products.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Mariner means a quicker disembarkation in Santiago, Chile - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Discover Santiago's historic heart at Plaza de Armas, surrounded by iconic buildings, fountains, and the Metropolitan Cathedral.

Your cruise ends in Lima, Peru, where the Seven Seas Mariner is scheduled to dock at 6:00 PM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Pack layered clothing for coastal breezes and varying temperatures.
