Navimag Cruise through the Patagonian Fjords

Decided to join the trip because it was recommended in Lonely Planet.
Was afraid that I was going to get bored, 4 days 3 nights on the ship, and almost regretted thinking better to go to other places instead, but in the end, I was glad I took this trip.
We boarded the trip on Wednesday night, then the ship boarded about 4 o'clock in the morning.
To my surprise, the ship was not fully booked, as I expected this trip to be so much popular.
In the morning, I realized that lots of sheeps and cows were also onboard with us. But they were jampacked in the cage outdoor on the back of the ship. It was sad to see how they were treated.
We started the trip with a sunny day and quite sea in the fjords. However, wheather changed like every hour.
We could see snowy mountains, waterfalls, small islands.
We met different kind of birds, seals, dolphins, and the blue whales.
In the ship, every day there was one lecture on Patagonian nature, and in the night they played movie.
Even though most of the passengers were foreign travellers, there were quite a number of locals too.
One memorable encounter was with a Korean lady, named Oga, who lived in many countries such as Jamaica, USA, New Zealand, and Argentina.
In the third day afternoon, we arrived in the open sea and it started to get rough. The ship was really shaking and I couldn't help getting seasick. I vomitted all the content of my stomach, and had to lay still on the bed for 12 hours.
In the last night, there was a bingo party and dance party. I enjoyed dancing with the locals.
