Press mentions and travel stories with Antarctica21.
www.antarctica21.comHere are the latest headlines I can share based on current public reporting:
-
Silversea expands Antarctic program and bullish on land-based experiences with a new Cormorant hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile, as part of its 2026–27 season. This signals growth in southern hub logistics and enhanced pre/post-cruise offerings.
-
Antarctica21 is advancing its fly-cruise model with the Magellan Discoverer, a hybrid-electric vessel launching in December 2026 to shorten travel time to the continent by skipping the Drake Passage. The new ship increases capacity for the fast-growing boutique Antarctic segment.
-
Additional ecosystem and experiential developments around Antarctic tourism continue to surface, including ongoing fleet expansions and new vessel announcements that emphasize faster access, smaller-ship experiences, and enhanced onshore programming.
