Does the All Glaciers Cruise Reach Perito Moreno?

Not Solo Patagonia’s. Its all glaciers cruise sails the Upsala and Spegazzini channels, lands at Base Spegazzini and comes back; Perito Moreno is not on its route. If you want Perito Moreno in the same day, Cruceros Marpatag’s El Calafate: Glaciers Gourmet Experience - Full Day Cruise ends its route along the Canal de los Tempanos at the glacier’s north face, from US$235 a person (checked November 2026) for the classic deck with a lunch box, and sells a drop-off at the Perito Moreno walkways as an option.

Free cancellation runs until 24 hours before.

Which cruise reaches which glacier

Routes from each listing and from the two operators’ own pages, read November 2026.

The national park’s activities page draws the same line. Todo Glaciares goes to the Upsala, Spegazzini, Heim and Peineta glaciers with a landing at the Refugio Spegazzini. Its entry for the Full Day Glaciares Gourmet ends with sailing along the Canal de los Tempanos to the north wall of Perito Moreno.

Why the two routes differ

Both companies start at Punta Bandera and cross the Boca del Diablo into the north arm. Solo Patagonia’s day turns into the Upsala channel, then the Spegazzini channel, and spends its time ashore at Base Spegazzini, which it reaches under a national park concession for the north, Upsala and Spegazzini arms. Cruceros Marpatag’s day sees the Spegazzini front from the water and stops instead at Puesto Las Vacas for a 50-minute guided walk, looks up the Upsala channel, then runs back south through the Canal de los Tempanos to Perito Moreno’s north face before returning to its pier at about 17:00.

So the choice is time ashore at the foot of Spegazzini, or a longer route that adds Perito Moreno, seen from the water on its north side.

Adding the walkways

Cruceros Marpatag’s add-on drops you at the Perito Moreno walkways in the afternoon, at about 15:45 on its own timetable, with about two hours there (1.5 hours from May to August) and a bus back to El Calafate at about 19:00. On its own rates page this costs ARS 105,000 on top of the cruise; on GetYourGuide it is the Classic Experience and Footbridges of Perito Moreno option, US$335 a person with transfers on the dates we read, against US$275 for the same classic day with transfers and no walkways. Patagonia Dreams’ Gourmet Glacier Cruise and Footbridges of Perito Moreno option cost US$447 (checked November 2026).

The landing can be cancelled in extreme weather, and Marpatag then refunds the add-on. It is not for wheelchair users or anyone with restricted mobility.

Which one to book

Prices, ratings and review counts from the listings (GetYourGuide checked November 2026). Operators price by date and season, so treat the figures as the shape of the market, not a quote.

If you are seeing Perito Moreno on another day anyway, on the walkways or on a one-hour boat, the Spegazzini landing gives the day something you would not get elsewhere. Is the all glaciers cruise worth it? weighs the long day.
