Why we like the MV Ushuaia
- With only 88 passengers aboard, everyone can disembark at the same time, which allows for longer landings
- Very friendly, experienced largely Argentinean staff
- Consistently high customer feedback of 9.3 out of 10 last season
- En-suite bathrooms in all cabins apart from Twin Standards which share a bathroom between two cabins. Usefully, each cabin also has its own wash basin
- Spacious outer deck areas which are excellent for wildlife watching
- Very competitively priced
- Important: all departures are bi-lingual, conducted in both English and Spanish

Voyages aboard Ushuaia

Luke says
Interesting fellow passengers and an expedition team who were hugely knowledgeable and great company - I thoroughly enjoyed my voyage aboard The Ushuaia. The consistently high feedback which we've received from Swoop customers further endorses just what a great ship she is.
