Antarctica21 announced in a press release that it had a busy 2025–26 expedition season, having sold 92 percent of its berth inventory.

The company welcomed 2,847 travelers from 53 nationalities aboard with 40 percent coming from North America and 60 percent from the rest of the world.

The season saw 42 voyages to Antarctica, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and the Chilean Fjords.

“Welcoming travelers from 53 countries confirms that the Antarctic air-cruise has become a global category. That growth carries responsibility, and this season’s results show we are delivering on it. Expedition travel and environmental leadership can move forward together,” said Brigitte Lämmle, sales & marketing director at Antarctica21.

“This season we also bid farewell to Ocean Nova, a vessel that shaped our story across 15 seasons and helped define the air-cruise experience as we know it.”

The company said it continued its focus on sustainability, renewing its CarbonNeutral certification for the seventh consecutive season.

In partnership with HIF Global, it completed a second season powering its Zodiac fleet aboard the Magellan Explorer with synthetic e-fuel produced in Punta Arenas.

Thanks to over $100,000 in guest contributions for the Antarctica21 Foundation, the company was able to support initiatives for the local community in Punta Arenas, Antarctic science programs and educational projects.

Next season, Antarctica21 will welcome the Magellan Discoverer, which will be managed by V.Ships Leisure.

The 76-guest ship, being built at the ASENAV shipyard in Chile, will feature hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, enabling quieter navigation and reduced emissions in Antarctic waters.
