Forjadores ties for first on a list where only distance can score, and lands second on the tie-break. By our estimated pins it sits about 100 m from the town centre, and its Expedia listing puts the dock about an 8-minute walk away.
The same listing describes a free self-serve breakfast running until 12:30, free parking and family studio suites. We couldn’t find the hotel’s own site, though, so none of that earns points.
Landing after 20:00? The front desk closes then, per Expedia — tell the hotel your arrival time before you fly.
Book it if
- You want a family suite in town
- A late breakfast suits a 21:00 sailing
- You’re arriving on DAP’s morning flight and want to walk around town
Look elsewhere if
- You want dinner in the building
- You’re landing late in the evening
- You’re traveling with a pet or a service animal
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Forjadores publishes and our own map estimates.
Nothing to eat on site is listed, so plan dinner in town — Expedia names Worus and Restó del Sur within about four minutes’ walk. The front desk closes at 20:00.
No ride to the ship is listed. If you bought Silversea’s flight package, airport transfers are included, per Silversea; otherwise ask Silversea where and when to report, because the pier’s position isn’t published and Zodiacs are sometimes the only way on board.
Expedia lists a free self-serve breakfast daily from 8:00 to 12:30 — a listing’s word, so it doesn’t score.
By our estimated pins Forjadores is about 100 m from the town centre. Expedia puts “Puerto Williams Dock” about 0.4 mi, an 8-minute walk, away; Hotels.com says 0.5 km. Neither says which dock, so follow Silversea’s instructions on where to report.
Expedia lists free self-parking for your stay — nothing says a car can stay while you sail.
Night-Before Score: 30 of 100
Every point comes from our map pins and, for the facts shown, its Expedia listing, which earns no points (we couldn’t find the hotel’s own site); the hub explains how the Night-Before Score works.
Getting here, and on to the ship
By our map estimate Forjadores is about 1 km from Puerto Williams airstrip in a straight line, and about 100 m from the town centre. Every question mark below is a ride you book yourself.
No airport shuttle is listed. Expedia puts the airstrip about a 12-minute drive away; arrange the ride before you land.
No ride to the ship is listed. If you bought Silversea’s flight package, airport transfers are included, per Silversea; otherwise ask Silversea where and when to report, because the pier’s position isn’t published and Zodiacs are sometimes the only way on board.
From WPU without a hotel shuttle
No taxi or bus fare is published for the airstrip, and no source we read gives one. Silversea puts the ride to its hotel at about 10 minutes and includes airport transfers when you buy its flight package. The airport page has what is and isn’t published.
Expedia lists free self-parking for your stay — nothing says a car can stay while you sail.
Parking for your stay: Free self-parking on site, per Expedia.
No ride to the ship is listed. If you bought Silversea’s flight package, airport transfers are included, per Silversea; otherwise ask Silversea where and when to report, because the pier’s position isn’t published and Zodiacs are sometimes the only way on board.
Flying in the morning you sail? DAP’s morning flight from Punta Arenas lands with the day still ahead of a 21:00 Silversea sailing, but one weather cancellation costs you a day; the airport page has the landing check.
Which quay
the town centreWe measure to the town centre, not a quay, because no source prints where the new pier sits and Silversea says Zodiacs are sometimes the only way on board. By our estimated pins Forjadores is about 100 m from that point. Your documents say where you board — and on a Fly Cruise you don’t board here at all, you fly to King George Island. Our Puerto Williams port page covers the pier works.
Source: mundomaritimo.clDistance
~100 m, straight lineAbout 100 m from the town centre between our map pins, roughly 2 minutes on foot at an easy pace. That’s our estimate, not the hotel’s.
Airport bus
Not statedNo airport bus or published taxi fare exists that we could find. The in-town hotels sit about 9 to 12 minutes’ drive from the airstrip, per their listings; arrange the ride before you land.
Parking while you sail
Cruise parking
Cruise parking unconfirmedExpedia lists free self-parking for your stay — nothing says a car can stay while you sail.
In town
No cruise parking publishedNo cruise parking is published for Puerto Williams. MundoMarítimo says parking comes with the pier’s Stage 3 land works, not before — and almost everyone arrives by air anyway.
The evening and the morning

Not statedNo restaurant or bar is listed on Expedia, which names two places a few minutes’ walk away instead.
