Atlas Ocean Voyages announces news 2025-26 expeditions to Antarctica. These Polar Expeditions to Antarctica begin October 2025 to March 2026 and are now available for booking. Offering 37 departures aboard 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.”    Â
Onboard Atlas Ocean Voyages’ expedition yachts in Antarctica, guests will explore a range of polar expeditions 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. Plus, explorers will enjoy a complimentary Pre-Expedition Cultural Immersion to Tierra del Fuego or A True Taste of Chile.Â
During the journey, guests will experience captivating landings and Zodiac safaris that unveil the pristine wonders of the Antarctic wilderness, expertly guided by the seasoned expedition team.

These voyages highlight calls to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, the Falklands, and the South Orkney Islands.
