VACAYA Makes History Again with First LGBT+ Full-Ship Charter Cruise to Antarctica

Mark den Hartog • Jan 26, 2021

Since its founding in 2018, VACAYA has continually re-written the rules of what’s possible within LGBT+ travel – taking their guests to all-new destinations that have never been served by the existing market players. That young but already-rich tradition continues today… after over 45 years since the advent of LGBT+ vacations, VACAYA is now offering the LGBT+ community the very first full-ship charter cruise to Antarctica December 6-17, 2022.

The most remote continent on Earth is unlike anything ever experienced. No matter where a person has been or what they’ve seen on previous travels, Antarctica is different from every other destination on the planet. Here, in the midst of the great Southern Ocean, they’ll find nature at its most magnificent as VACAYA sails one of the world’s most luxurious expedition ships – Le
Boreal from Ponant, which provides the perfect home-away-from-home for 10 adventure-filled days and nights exploring Antarctica. VACAYA is also throwing in an included pre-cruise night in Buenos Aires, Argentina and roundtrip flights from BA to Ushuaia (where the cruise begins and ends) to create an 11-night expedition that sets an all-new standard in luxury LGBT+ travel.


THIS INCREDIBLE FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND CRUISE PACKAGE INCLUDES:

  • Accommodations for 11 Nights – 1 Night in Buenos Aires, 10 Nights aboard Le Boreal from Ponant
  • Multiple daily landings on the continent via Zodiac® – hike, kayak, and mix and mingle with penguins!
  • Roundtrip flights from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia
  • Multiple ground transfers in Buenos Aires and Ushuaia
  • Alcoholic & Non-Alcoholic Beverages onboard
  • All Meals onboard
  • And so much more!
