Antarctica 2024-2025 – New Ships & Itineraries
If you are looking at an Antarctica cruise 2024-2025, now is the time to talk to our experts. Noteworthy for the 2024 season is that Antarctica cruise lines have introduced exciting new itineraries.
New All Inclusive Active Adventure – Antarctica 2024
Starting in Antarctica 2024, the new Antarctica All-Access itinerary joins the Antarctic Peninsula Basecamp Cruise, offering all inclusive kayaking, camping and snowshoeing at no extra cost. Most Antarctica cruises require an added fee for special activity programs, such as kayaking and camping (learn more in our primers on Things to Do in Antarctica and Antarctica cost).
New Fly Cruise – November 2024
Launching in November 2024 is National Geographic Antarctica Direct, a new option for travelers seeking to fly over the Drake Passage to Antarctica. Skip the two-day sailing to instead fly round-trip on an 8-day itinerary, or fly one-way on a 10-day route. While not a new concept (we’ve been offering Antarctica air cruises for 20 years), it’s welcome addition for fans of the National Geographic fleet.
New Ship Ocean Explorer – 2024-2025
The 138-guest Ocean Explorer is a modern ship with cutting-edge technology and an impressive expedition team-to-guest ratio of 1:6. Its remarkable two-story front windows flood the lounge with natural light and stunning views, and nearly every cabin offers a walkout balcony.
Choose from 5 itineraries including the new and unique 18-day South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula: Penguin Safari that offers extensive exploration of South Georgia Island with longer time in each region.
