Artemis missions to the Moon take about 3 to 4 days to reach lunar vicinity, and the full crewed Artemis II mission is planned as a 10-day round trip around the Moon. NASA’s Artemis I mission took 25 days, 10 hours, 53 minutes because it was an uncrewed test that stayed in lunar orbit and traveled much farther overall.

Quick answer
