The
exotic nature of South America attracts travelers to experience the
diverse cultures, food, biomes, and the grandeur of the last
"untouched" region of Antarctica. In fact, according to the
International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), a record
105,331 people visited Antarctica last season. With its newly
announced 2025-2026 season, Princess Cruises gives more guests the opportunity
to see this less traveled part of the world with affordable rates, a wide range
of shore excursions, and the comfort of a ship that can safely navigate this
journey while offering countless amenities and activities to enjoy.
"Our
upcoming 2025-26 cruise season to South America and Antarctica promises
remarkable journeys with incredible opportunities to glide through glacial
waters of Antarctica to enjoy views of Elephant Island, Antarctic
Sound and Gerlache Strait – all unforgettable sites to behold," said Terry
Thornton, chief commercial officer, Princess Cruises. "Plus our
thoughtfully planned itineraries offer guests more time in robust South
American cities to fully immerse themselves in the culture to get a taste of
how the locals live."
