Senior Sailor Says:
I traveled to Antarctica. I also sailed with AdventureSmith Explorations to the Galapagos Islands. I know the continent and I know the company.
The company is booking new itineraries on a brand-new expedition ship that offers a rare, extended opportunity to explore seldom-visited sites.
AdventureSmith Explorations, a leader in small-ship adventure cruises, offers new itineraries to seldom-visited, remote regions starting in 2025 aboard the brand new 154-guest expedition ship Douglas Mawson.
Three cruises will take travelers across the Antarctic Circle and into diverse regions, including East Antarctica, the Ross Sea, and the Subantarctic Islands, which only 600 visitors—1.5 percent of the tourists who visit Antarctica—access annually.
The first cruise is in December 2025 and will embark from Australia and New Zealand.
"For those who genuinely want to experience a comprehensive and unique experience in Antarctica, these epic itineraries are, without a doubt, bucket-list trips," said AdventureSmith Explorations founder and president Todd Smith.
There are several itineraries, including one where history buffs will appreciate the 24-day Mawson's Antarctica itinerary that follows its namesake's pioneering 1911 voyage to East Antarctica.
It includes a visit to Mawson's hut at Commonwealth Bay in George V Land, Antarctica. The ship will travel along the East Antarctic coast and attempt to position itself over the South Magnetic Pole, which has migrated out to sea.
"I've personally been aboard Douglas Mawson's sister ship, the Greg Mortimer, and our team has compiled an Antarctica cruise guide among the most authoritative resources available for travelers researching Antarctica cruises," says Smith.
