Top Adventure Destination In The World According To Virtuoso

For those travelers already seeking an adventure vacation in 2025, Antarctica is the ultimate destination for normal folk and thrill-seekers alike. With its stark icy scenes and crystal-clear glacier waters, there is no place quite like it in the world. Moreover, these days Antarctica is more accessible to the average traveler, too. Luxury travel network Virtuoso just named Antarctica the top adventure destination for 2025.

Antarctica is the Top Adventure Destination

In the past, Antarctica was braved by only the most courageous thrill-seekers and scientists. However, these days this icy destination is more accessible to the average traveler. Meanwhile, Virtuoso has declared the Antarctic the top adventure destination for 2025 in its annual Luxe Report.

To put together its report, Virtuoso polled its team advisors across 58 countries to reveal emerging travel trends. Moreover, it asked what travelers hope to gain in their 2025 vacations. Among the results, the report noted that global travelers continue to be keen on visiting remote and cold-weather destinations. Meanwhile, it was found that most travelers would put a trip to the icy continent of Antarctica at the top of their bucket list.

Antarctica is easier to access for modern travelers

Luckily for those keen to visit the icy continent, it is now easier to get to than ever. More than 70 cruise ships set sail to Antarctica each year, with itineraries typically for seven to 14 nights. Meanwhile, most of these voyages have to navigate the notoriously rough Drake Passage from Argentina to get to their destination. However, some travel advisors like Lindblad Expeditions offer the option of flight.

However, for those adventure seekers looking for a more exclusive experience, some companies like White Desert offer eco-luxury glamping experiences. Whichever way is chosen to get there, Antarctica is more than worth the trouble. Moreover, it offers travelers a huge selection of extraordinary activities. Here, travelers can take in the towering icebergs, or kayak the clear glacial waters to view the continent’s unique wildlife, including penguins, orcas and seals.

About Lindblad Expeditions

Lindblad Expeditions’ founder and CEO Sven-Olaf Lindblad considers Antarctica one of the last frontiers, where nature remains mostly untouched by human activity.  His father, Lars-Eric led the first non-scientist civilian expedition to the white continent in 1966.

Sven-Olaf feels that by expanding tourism services Lindblad Expeditions offers a unique opportunity for travelers to visit one of the world’s most pristine ecosystems in a profound and life-changing way. Explaining his opinion, he said:

When people come to places like this, they develop sensibilities about the world, and it changes them for the better.

Meanwhile, those who can’t visit the most remote continent in the world can choose other top adventure destinations in Virtuoso’s Luxe report. These include chilly destinations like Alaska and Iceland. For those seeking warmth, the next adventure destinations on the list are South Africa and Costa Rica.
