Bucket List time: Cape Horn. For those familiar with Morrison's "European Discovery of America," this is the last word, by no means the grandest scene, but essential to the story. We were blessed with calm seas and clear weather, so we were able to circle the Horn (according to our captain, a rare opportunity) before turning north into the Beagle Channel. Although we didn't land, we got a clear view of the albatross-shaped Cape Horn Memorial, and join in remembering all who rounded the Horn before us.

The highlight of the cruise for me as this is such an iconic location. We arrived about 0600 in the dark but the captain hung around for about 90 minutes through daybreak to allow us to feel the atmosphere and what an atmosphere. The sea was a bit choppy but nowhere near as bad as it could have been and even though we had winds gusting 45kts, this allowed the captain to get the shop in relatively close. He then rotated the ship slowly so everybody on all sides could see the Horn, the Chilean Naval-run lighthouse and the surrounding scenery. Not only did Alejandro and Celia run a talk throughout, they broadcast a radio conversation from the naval officer stationed there with his family; a fantastic touch. Just to say I’d sailed around the Horn, albeit on a luxurious cruise ship rather than a small boat, is something I’ll never forget.

We had calm seas so were very lucky! Pay attention as the Captain as he only does a brief announcement and you can miss the whole event if your having breakfast. There should be a bigger tada made - blow the ship horn or something!

Not many people in the world have had this experience. We had good weather and sea conditions; might be pretty bouncy in some cases.

This was terrific as were the Chile fjords and glaciers that we were able to see.
