Swan Hellenic, one of the leading expedition cruise companies, is back with a limited-time offer to explore Antarctica at rock bottom prices. Antarctica is a destination that offers a life-changing experience, and I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to visit this breathtaking continent. Its coastline and mountains are more dynamic than anything I’ve seen from Alaska to Norway, and it surpasses the glaciers of the Alps, New Zealand, and Argentina in sheer size and beauty. Moreover, wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by the abundance of land, air, and sea creatures that call Antarctica home.
Swan Hellenic is offering a last-minute deal to visit the 7th continent aboard the Seabourn Venture from February 7th to February 17th, 2023. This luxurious 5-star expedition cruise is available for just $5,999 per person, making it an incredible value for money. Compared to Hurtigruten’s recent BOGO sale, Swan Hellenic’s offer is not only more affordable but also includes more inclusions and amenities. To take advantage of this deal, contact Scott & Thomas Travel, an approved travel agent who can save you up to 66% off the published rate.
It’s important to note that this offer is not available if you call Swan Hellenic directly. You can only book these rates through an approved agent. The sale is applicable for sailings between November 6th, 2023, and January 8th, 2024. Prices start as low as $5,999 per person for an ocean view or balcony suite. Solo travelers only pay a 25% supplement, making this one of the best solo traveler deals to Antarctica. I highly recommend booking a balcony room to ensure you don’t miss any wildlife sightings or breathtaking views.
Here are some of the expedition dates that are on sale:
– Antarctic Peninsula Discovery: Prices start at $5,999 per person.
– Antarctic Peninsula Odyssey: Prices start at $5,999 per person.
– Spirit of Antarctica: Prices start at $5,999 per person.

Each trip includes charter flights to and from Ushuaia, Argentina, from Buenos Aires, and a one-night hotel stay with transfers. The itineraries range from 4 to 9 days in Antarctica, with some trips going beyond the Antarctic circle. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the magical Marguerite Bay and experience the wonders of Antarctica.
Before embarking on your cruise, you will spend one night in a 4 or 5-star hotel in Buenos Aires (or Cape Town if applicable) and enjoy transfer services to and from the airport. It’s important to note that flights from your home country to Buenos Aires are not included in the package.
When it comes to the best time to visit Antarctica, this sale offers the opportunity to experience the peak season. You can choose to travel in November for thick sea ice or later in the season for penguin and whale watching. Regardless of the month, you can enjoy great hikes, walks on beautiful landscapes and glaciers, and even sea kayaking.
Swan Hellenic is known for its exceptional service and attention to detail. The SH Diana and SH Vega, the ships used for these expeditions, are both polar ice-class expedition ships with extra-large stabilizers. They offer a range of comfort amenities, including a pool bar and grill, outdoor hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, and in-room fireplaces. The ships have a maximum capacity of 192 guests (SH Diana) and 152 guests (SH Vega), ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. The staff-to-guest ratio is an impressive 1 staff member to every 1.25 guests.
Throughout the cruise, you’ll be joined by a dedicated team of expedition leaders and naturalists who will provide daily lectures and insights into the wonders of Antarctica. With fewer than 200 people on board, you’ll have the opportunity to make two landings in Antarctica every day.
One of the standout features of Swan Hellenic cruises is their all-inclusive pricing. The fare includes regional round-trip flights to the port of embarkation and disembarkation, group transfers from the airport to the cruise port, one-night pre-cruise accommodation with breakfast in a 4 or 5-star hotel, all meals onboard, a professional photographer and video of your expedition, 24-hour room service, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and selected alcoholic beverages available 24 hours per day (including popular brands like Maker’s Mark bourbon, Stoli vodka, Hendrick’s gin, beer, and wine), lecture programs by experienced expedition teams and guest speakers, standard WiFi, onboard gratuities and port taxes, a branded Swan Hellenic winter expedition parka, use of rubber boots, complimentary Zodiac cruising expeditions, daily landings, and a complimentary in-room minibar.
