Atlas Ocean Voyages is offering a unique proposition for holiday travel in 2025: Antarctic expeditions. These intimate, yacht-style journeys accommodate fewer than 200 guests per vessel, combining refined holiday traditions with Antarctic exploration. The all-inclusive Polar Expeditions feature encounters with penguin rookeries and humpback whales, Zodiac safaris and the opportunity to participate in the Polar Plunge.
“Celebrating the holidays in Antarctica allows guests to create unforgettable memories that transcend the ordinary,” said James A. Rodriguez, president and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages, in a press statement. “It’s an inspiring way to embrace both the warmth of tradition and the exhilaration of true exploration.”

Your clients will benefit from expert-led enrichment programs and destination briefings, as well as expedition team guides who lead shore landings and Zodiac safaris.
Plus, Atlas Ocean Voyages offers private charter jet service from Buenos Aires directly to Ushuaia, including a complimentary pre-cruise hotel night in Buenos Aires.
For the 2025 season, Atlas offers several expedition options:
- Exploring the Last Continent is an 11-night Ushuaia round-trip departing on Nov. 18, 2025 (World Traveller) and Nov. 20, 2025 (World Navigator). This Thanksgiving journey includes Antarctic adventures and a special holiday feast onboard.
- The Crossing the Antarctic Circle expedition, also 11 nights from Ushuaia, departs on Dec. 17, 2025 (World Traveller) and Dec. 28, 2025 (World Navigator). This trip takes guests beyond the 66th parallel into Antarctica’s remote areas, coinciding with the incubation period of chinstrap penguins and the presence of humpback whales.
- Antarctic Discovery offers a 9-night Ushuaia round-trip with three departure dates: Dec. 18 and 27, 2025 (World Voyager), and Dec. 28, 2025 (World Traveller). This expedition explores the Antarctic Peninsula, offering opportunities to witness rare wildlife.
The small guest capacity ensures a more personalized experience, while the all-inclusive aspect of the trips provides convenience and value.
