Princess Cruises has revealed a new 2026-27 South America and Antarctica season as Majestic Princess debuts in the region. Passengers will take in beautiful landscapes and embark on bucket list adventures spotting penguins and sailing by glaciers.
Additionally, for the first time, Princess Cruises will also offer scenic cruising through the Beagle Channel Fjords and Glacier Alley. The journey will showcase hanging and tidewater glaciers descending from the Darwin Mountain Range–a journey cruisers will never forget.
Princess Chief Cruise Commercial Officer Terry Thornton said, “Our award-winning itineraries to South America and Antarctica highlight a place of raw beauty where Mother Nature truly shines. From the natural wildlife, rugged coastlines and unique culture, the ultimate highlight of our upcoming 2026-27 cruise season is our return to Antarctica where we offer our guests the rare chance to visit one of the most remote and awe-inspiring places on earth.”
