FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Ocean Voyages announces Polar Expeditions by Atlas^™ to Antarctica beginning October 2025 to March 2026 are now available for bookings. Offering 37 departures aboard the expedition yacht fleet of World Voyager^™, World Navigator^®, and World Traveller^™, this will mark the third season featuring the entire Atlas Ocean Voyages fleet in the region.

"Antarctica continues to be the most popular and in-demand region for Atlas Ocean Voyages," shares Atlas Ocean Voyages President and CEO James Rodriguez. "We look forward to once again positioning all three expedition yachts in the region for the season, providing travelers with many options to explore with under 200 fellow travelers on board."

On board Atlas Ocean Voyages' expedition yachts in Antarctica, guests will explore a range of polar expeditions with options ranging from 7 to 18 nights. Most expeditions sail roundtrip from Ushuaia, Argentina, while others offer the option of 7-night Drake Express expeditions departing from Punta Arenas, Chile. Every voyage includes a pre-cruise hotel night stay in Buenos Aires or Punta Arenas and private roundtrip charter air flights for your convenience. Plus, explorers will enjoy a complimentary Pre-Expedition Cultural Immersion to Tierra del Fuego or A True Taste of Chile. During the journey, guests will experience captivating landings and Zodiac safaris that unveil the pristine wonders of the Antarctic wilderness, expertly guided by Atlas Ocean Voyages' seasoned expedition team of field experts, passionate guides, and knowledgeable naturalists.

Highlights of the 2025/2026 Antarctica Season:

The "Antarctic Discovery" expeditions sail a 9-night roundtrip from Ushuaia, including up to four immersive days at the Antarctic Peninsula. Guests will enjoy multiple Captain's Choice landings and Zodiac safari experiences when weather and safety conditions allow. Departures are available on November 9, 29, December 8, 28, 2025, and January 15, 16, 24, February 5, 25, 27, and March 19, 2026.
The "Crossing the Antarctic Circle" expeditions sail 11 nights roundtrip from Ushuaia and feature up to six days at the Antarctic Peninsula, including multiple Captain's Choice landings and Zodiac safari experiences.

For a more immersive experience of the Seventh Continent without crossing the Drake Passage, guests can choose from two 7-night "Drake Express Expedition" sailings roundtrip from King George Island (departing on December 2 or December 9, 2025). Plus, an additional 7-night Drake Express Expedition departs from Ushuaia on November 25, 2025. It ends in King George Island, so that explorers can still experience sailing the Drake Passage one way and then enjoy a private charter air flight back to Punta Arenas. All Drake Express expeditions concluding in Punta Arenas include a post-cruise hotel night stay.
In response to overwhelming interest, we're thrilled to announce two 18-night "Grand Antarctica & Beyond" Expedition showcases. These voyages highlight calls to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, the Falklands, and the South Orkney Islands, offering unparalleled exploration of the region's diverse and breathtaking landscapes. Departing on December 18, 2025, and January 8, 2026, from Ushuaia, they offer our most extensive exploration of the region.
Additional Polar Expeditions by Atlas^™ include a 13-night "Chilean Fjords & Falklands Adventure" journey departing Buenos Aires on October 27, 2025, for Ushuaia and a 13-night "Falklands & Fjords Explorer" northbound departure from Ushuaia on March 3, 2026.
