Oceanwide Expeditions 2025-2026 Antarctic Expedition Cruise Season Commences

Oceanwide Expeditions 2025-2026 Antarctic expedition cruise season began today (22 October 2025) with the company’s first voyage of the season departing Puerto Madryn, Argentina, on a Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Antarctica Photographic Special itinerary.
All three of Oceanwide Expeditions’ motor expedition vessels, m/v Hondius, m/v Ortelius, and m/v Plancius, will take guests from the shores of South America, across the sub-Antarctica, and into the Antarctic Peninsula and farthest reaches of the Weddell Sea throughout the 2025-2026 season.
The first departures of Hondius and Plancius will take place from Ushuaia, Argentina, and Stanley, the Falkland Islands, respectively.

Unique Weddell Sea & Deep South Voyages in 2025-2026
In addition to returning guest-favorite itineraries, such as the company’s renowned Falkland Islands – South Georgia – Antarctica voyages or Antarctica Learning and Discovery trips, this season sees the addition of several unique itineraries set to take place in the Weddell Sea and far below the Antarctic Circle.
Returning is the record-breaking Remote Weddell Sea Explorer itinerary, departing 22 January 2026, which is set to take guests into the far south of the Weddell Sea over 27 nights. Last Antarctic season, this itinerary set a new farthest south record in the Weddell Sea for a non-icebreaker passenger vessel.

A one-off Uncharted Islands of the Deep South itinerary is planned to explore the poorly mapped region surrounding the Glinka Islands and Lazarev Bay in early 2026, while guests seeking an immersive, activity-focused voyage can join a Deep South Basecamp trip for the first time this season.
“I am excited for our Antarctica expedition season to be underway once more, with a combination of new and returning itineraries set to showcase the best that this spectacular region has to offer. We look forward to welcoming our guests on board and pursuing the authentic, immersive polar experience for which we have become known throughout the industry.” – Franklin Braeckman, Antarctic Program Manager.
