Atlas Ocean Voyages opens 2021/22 Antarctica sales with savings, agent bonus

The sailings are open to book with savings, reduced deposit and a 'Get Paid Now' incentive that immediately rewards travel advisors with up to $750 per deposited booking.

Ushuaia round-trips

A dozen nine-night journeys will operate round-trip from Ushuaia, Argentina. Travelers will sail through Neptune’s Bellows and land inside Deception Island’s caldera, visit Argentine and Spanish research stations and step onto Antarctica proper at Brown Bluff (Paulet Island as an alternate) at the northern tip of the peninsula. Landings are planned at Neko Harbour or Paradise Bay and Cuverville Island or Goudier Island in the Gerlache Strait.

Solar eclipse

Two longer journeys, 12 nights round-trip from Ushuaia, are also available. The Nov. 28, 2021, trip will enable viewing of the solar eclipse on Dec. 4. Travelers will also visit the South Shetland Islands, Paulet Island and Brown Bluff, and make three landings in the South Georgia and Sandwich Islands.

The Feb. 2, 2022, departure includes all the planned landings as the nine-night itinerary. Plus, it navigates across the Antarctic Circle in pursuit of marine wildlife-spotting for two additional days.

Water's Edge Lookout

Passengers will be able to see Antarctic wildlife closer from World Navigator’s Water’s Edge Lookout, touted as the lowest expedition ship’s bow observation area and the only one with wrap-around, heated benches for extended time out on deck.

World Navigator also will embark on an eight-night Argentine Patagonia and Falkland Islands itinerary, departing Nov. 11, 2021, from Montevideo, Uruguay, to Ushuaia with calls at Buenos Aires, Puerto Madryn and Port Stanley.
