Glaciers Gourmet Price

What the Glaciers Gourmet cruise costs: US$235 for the classic deck with a lunch box, US$275 with transfers, US$335 with the Perito Moreno walkways, US$435 to US$535 on the premium deck, the operator's peso rates and the ARS 50,000 park fee (November 2026).

Updated November 2026

Cruceros Marpatag’s Glaciers Gourmet Experience is from US$235 a person (checked November 2026). That buys the classic deck with a lunch box, boarding at La Soledad Port with no transfers. Transfers make it US$275, and transfers plus two hours on the Perito Moreno walkways US$335. The premium lounge with the gourmet tasting menu costs US$435 to US$535, on the dates it is on sale. The national park fee, ARS 50,000 at the general rate, is extra on every option.

One adult, read on GetYourGuide in November 2026. On 3 December and 20 January the premium options showed the next day as their next date.

The classic prices did not move across the three dates. Two adults pay twice the one-adult price. The transfer options collect from 58 pickup points, except the premium option with transfers, which lists 21.

The same ladder on Viator

Cruceros Marpatag also sells the day on Viator, as Glaciares Gourmet Navigation, with the same six options at the same prices: US$235 classic without transfer up to US$535 premium with the Perito Moreno drop-off (Viator, checked November 2026). Book on whichever platform you prefer; the cancellation window is 24 hours on both.

Cruceros Marpatag’s own prices in pesos

Bought direct, the day is priced differently. Cruceros Marpatag's rates page, effective from 1 October 2026, has the classic cabin at ARS 330,000 an adult, with the bar but no lunch. The extras are ARS 50,000 for the box lunch, ARS 65,000 for the bus from El Calafate, ARS 320,000 for the premium room and ARS 105,000 for the Perito Moreno landing with the bus back. Children up to 4 travel free and those aged 5 to 15 get 30% off. Older price blocks dated 2025 still sit at the foot of some of its pages; the rates effective from 1 October 2026 are the ones in force when we read them in November 2026.

These peso prices do not include the park fee, and they are not comparable one to one with the dollar options above, which bundle the lunch box.

The park fee

The Administracion de Parques Nacionales charges ARS 50,000 a day at the general rate from 1 June 2026, sold at the port by card or for cash in pesos, or online. Children up to 6 enter free. The park prints no separate rate for foreign visitors; we read the general rate as the one that applies to a passport without an Argentine national ID.
