Poseidon Expeditions Announces 2024-25 Arctic and Antarctic Seasons Now Available for Reservations: “Super” Early Booking Savings in Effect through May 31, 2023
PROVIDENCE, RI, Feb. 16, 2023 – Poseidon Expeditions, which focuses on remote polar cruise exploration in the high latitudes, has opened reservations for May – September 2024 cruises in the Arctic and October 2024 – February 2025 departures in the Antarctic, all aboard the 114-passenger Sea Spirit.
All-new “super” early booking rates are available through the end of May 2023 for all Arctic and Antarctic cruises in 2024-25, with discounts as generous as 20 percent off the regular rates, depending on category reserved. From June through the end of October, these discounts will be reduced by five percent, still a considerable savings for polar adventurers.
The stylish and well-appointed expedition ship Sea Spirit serves both polar regions for Poseidon Expeditions. Applying the “super” early booking discount, Arctic rates in 2024 for the all-suite Sea Spirit begin at just $6,771 per person if three people share a spacious Triple Suite and includes round trip airfare between Oslo, Norway and Longyearbyen, Svalbard, where the cruise begins and ends. This rate applies to a June 9-18 or June 17-26, 2024 10-day West Svalbard & Polar Ice Edge adventure. This same suite for three with the “super” early booking discount brings a December 6-17 or December 16-27, 2024 12-day Antarctica Peninsula cruise to just $8,581 per person. Double occupancy rates for these departures begin at $9,261 and $11,386, respectively.
Sea Spirit offers all-suite accommodations ranging from 215 to 463 square feet (20-43 square meters). There are two multi-purpose lounges for educational programming and entertainment, a restaurant that can accommodate all passengers in one seating, a well-stocked polar library, and ample outdoor deck space to enjoy the polar landscapes and wildlife.
Activities both on and off the ship are directed by a team of experienced, bilingual polar guides, scientists and educators. Guests are offered many opportunities to venture from the ship. Shore landings provide the chance to explore and to partake in guide-led interpretive walks and photography workshops. Optional Sea kayaking and Zodiac cruising are offered in both polar regions and optional camping can be arranged in Antarctica. The ship’s expedition staff-to-passenger ratio of 1:9 is one of the most generous in the business.
Travelers bound for the Antarctic Peninsula embark from Ushuaia, the southernmost tip of Argentina. Other destinations for the Sea Spirit in this region of the Southern Ocean include the Falklands and South Georgia Island, once a whaling center and the final resting place of legendary explorer Earnest Shackleton. Icons of the area are penguins, seals, sea lions, whales and birdlife, including albatross.
Travelers can explore the British Isles, Outer Hebrides and Faroe Islands in May 2024 with three early summer adventures. Arctic cruises in Svalbard include a focus on the region’s wildlife – walrus, polar bears, reindeer, arctic fox, whales and birdlife – as well as delving into the history of polar exploration more than 100 years ago. In this shifting landscape of sea ice and icebergs, the Northern Lights are always a possibility on late summer departures to East Greenland.
