Antarctica is gearing up for a remarkable expedition season, commencing on October 25, 2026. Travelers can anticipate an exceptional opportunity to explore one of the planet’s most spectacular and unspoiled regions, with a series of novel additions and enriched experiences combining exploration, learning, and unforgettable moments.

WORLD VOYAGER | A New Vessel for Polar Exploration
The World Voyager, a newly developed ship optimized for polar voyages, will debut this season. With room for 168 passengers and exclusively balcony staterooms, it offers the unique opportunity to visit remote Antarctic locations that are seldom reached by other expeditions. Passengers aboard the World Voyager will have the distinct privilege of participating in actual scientific investigations during their Antarctic adventure, thanks to a newly launched Science Program available on all departures.

EARLY SEASON | Camping Adventures
Travelers on select early season voyages will enjoy access to quieter, more exclusive locations and increased camping opportunities, all thanks to the untouched conditions of the season’s beginning.

NEW ITINERARIES | The Marine Mammals & Antarctica by Helicopter
A pair of fresh itineraries joins the lineup: ‘Antarctic Marine Mammals: The World of Whales & Seals,’ catering to wildlife enthusiasts, and ‘Antarctica by Helicopter: Crossing the Circle and the Peninsula,’ offering spectacular views from the air. Beyond these new offerings, a selection of expeditions remains, such as the well-known ‘Antarctic Explorer: Discovering the 7th Continent’ and the comprehensive ‘Penguins of the Far South: Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica.

Certain expeditions offer the convenience of flying over the Drake Passage, bypassing lengthy sea travel and potential seasickness! Additionally, some itineraries feature extensive helicopter excursions for unparalleled views. For an exceptional wildlife encounter, the ‘Emperor Penguin Quest: Expedition to Snow Hill’ provides the opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural environment.
