CruiseHub starts Antarctic expeditions for Romanian tourists

Business Forum
CruiseHub, part of the Aerotravel group, has become the first travel agency in Romania to organise an expedition-type group cruise to Antarctica. This move reflects a surging demand among Romanians for luxury and expedition cruises, with interest having doubled in the last two years. 

The exclusive journey, priced from €14,449 per person, spans 15 days, including flights and layovers. The 10-night cruise aboard the luxury icebreaker World Explorer, operated by Quark Expeditions, follows the route Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) – Drake Passage – Antarctic Peninsula. 

Florin Bidirel, General Manager, CruiseHub, said: "Cruises to Antarctica, and beyond, are considered the absolute pinnacle of exploration tourism, combining authentic adventure with refined luxury."

The ship, with a capacity of 140 passengers, offers exclusively balcony cabins, providing direct ocean views for an immersive polar experience in luxurious conditions.

CruiseHub projects a 27% increase in revenues and a 19% rise in passenger numbers in 2025 compared to 2023, driven by this interest in exploration tourism.
