The season features 25 voyages from nine to 23 days, visiting the Antarctic Peninsula, Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Chile.
In Shackleton's Footsteps
Also new is a 20-day 'In Shackleton's Footsteps' sailing that traces the historic voyage of the Endurance, venturing into the Weddell Sea and then Elephant Island, the desolate outpost where Shackleton and his men finally made landfall after 497 days at sea.
The voyage continues across the Scotia Sea to South Georgia, where Shackleton’s voyage reached its climactic conclusion. It departs from Ushuaia, Argentina on March 16, 2025.
Chilean Fjords debut
A first for AE Expeditions is visiting the Chilean Fjords in two itineraries: a 14-day fly/sail 'Antarctic Explorer' voyage departing March 1, 2015 and a 13-day 'Spirit of Antarctica' expedition dedicated to photography, departing March 13, 2025.
‘We have just completed a hugely successful 22/23 Antarctic season and our 23/24 Antarctic season is already selling well with several departures almost at capacity,’ said Jos Dewing, managing director - EMEA, AE Expeditions. ‘Our 24/25 Antarctic season is looking like our most adventurous yet.’
Hayley Peacock-Gower, chief marketing officer of AE Expeditions commented, ‘We have pioneered purpose-driven exploration for more than 32 years and this season combines a unique mix of itineraries – returning favourites, new itineraries and a collection of special themed expeditions.’
