/PRNewswire/ -- The exotic nature of South America attracts travelers to experience
the diverse cultures, food, biomes, and the grandeur of the last
"untouched" region of Antarctica.
In fact, according to the International Association of Antarctica
Tour Operators (IAATO), a record 105,331 people visited
Antarctica last season. With
its newly announced 2025-2026 season, Princess Cruises gives more
guests the opportunity to see this less traveled part of the world
with affordable rates, a wide range of shore excursions, and the
comfort of a ship that can safely navigate this journey while
offering countless amenities and activities to enjoy.

incredible opportunities to glide through glacial waters of
Antarctica to enjoy views of
Elephant Island, Antarctic Sound and Gerlache Strait – all

Thornton, chief commercial officer, Princess Cruises. "Plus
