HX & Aurora Offers
The current deals on Antarctica expedition cruises, in one place: discounted HX fares for all three seasons to 2029, and Aurora Expeditions’ Stop Saying Someday savings. Each offer has a booking deadline, so the dates they end are shown with them.
Updated 3 November 2026
Expedition cruise lines rarely discount Antarctica in the way ocean cruise lines do, because there are only a few ships and a short season. When offers do come along they are usually tied to a booking deadline, so they are worth knowing about. These are the offers on our Antarctica cruise lines this month, with the dates they end. We check them regularly, but if you have seen a price somewhere else, call us and we will look at it for you.
HX Expeditions are celebrating 130 years of exploring with an extra discount on top of their usual fares. It applies to every Antarctica voyage and is already included in the prices on this page.
Aurora’s Stop Saying Someday sale takes up to 35% off selected voyages worldwide for a limited time. On their Antarctic departures the savings we can see today run from 10% to 25%, already included in the prices below, and Aurora’s small ships keep up to ten solo cabins on every sailing with no single supplement. See the Aurora offers below.
HX Expeditions
The lowest offer fare we found for each HX voyage in each season, with the departure it applies to and what it would usually cost. Most voyages have several departures, and the other dates are usually only a few hundred pounds more, so do ask about the dates that suit you. Follow the link to see every date for that voyage.
This season, sailing from late October 2026 to March 2027. With departures only weeks or months away, some of these savings are the biggest of the three seasons. Book by 9 November 2026 for the Anniversary discount.

Fares per person, two sharing the lowest grade of cabin available on 23 October 2026, taken from HX Expeditions' UK website. HX use flexible pricing, so fares move with demand and can change daily. HX fares start in Buenos Aires (Santiago for most MS Fram voyages, and Valparaíso for the Patagonia voyage) and include a hotel night and the flights to and from the ship; international flights from the UK are extra, and we can add them for you. HX now sail the 12 March 2027 Punta Arenas departure as an 18 day voyage to Montevideo, taking in South Georgia and the Falklands.
Travelling Alone
Plenty of people travel to Antarctica on their own, and an expedition ship is one of the easiest places to do it. You share Zodiac landings, lectures in the Science Center and meals with people who are as excited about penguins as you are, and there is no pressure to join in when you would rather sit with a book in the Explorer Lounge and watch the ice go by. In HX's short film below, solo guests explain what it is like.

HX’s recent solo offer has now closed, but solo cabins are available on every HX voyage and the fare depends on the date and cabin, so call us and we will find the best solo price for your dates. With Aurora Expeditions you can travel alone with no single supplement at all in their dedicated solo cabins, as explained in the Aurora section below.

Prices per person in pounds, two sharing, from Aurora Expeditions’ UK fares on 3 November 2026, including the current savings. Flights from the UK are not included. Savings vary by departure and stateroom, are for new bookings, and can be changed or withdrawn by Aurora at any time.
These Aurora departures sail between now and the end of January 2027 and still have space. Late availability is limited, so call us for the stateroom choice on the day.
Aurora hold up to ten dedicated solo cabins on every sailing with no single supplement, and the Solo column on each voyage page shows the price. If those have gone, or you would like a different grade, any other available stateroom can be booked for sole use with a 50% supplement. Guests who have sailed with Aurora before join their loyalty programme automatically: Bronze, Silver and Gold members get an extra 5% off on top of other offers, together with onboard credit and, at Silver and Gold, a guaranteed minimum saving of 15% and a free upgrade when one is available.
