Antarctica : Kapitan Khlebnikov

Type: Icebreaker Max capacity: 112 passengers

This hard-working icebreaker was constructed in 1981 in Finland and is designed for the challenging conditions of polar seas. No other expedition vessel has navigated more polar waters and notably she was the first ship ever to circumnavigate Antarctica with passengers in 1997. The Kapitan Khlebnikov will retire from tourist services in March 2012, so book one of our 'End of Era' voyages now for your last chance to sail on this renowned icebreaker!

 

Introduction


The ‘KK’ is staffed by highly experienced Russian officers and crew. Zodiac landing craft are carried on board along with helicopters for ice and wildlife reconnaissance. Views are excellent from the bridge and there are large open decks on several levels. Public areas include two dining rooms, a lounge and bar, auditorium, indoor swimming pool, gym and sauna. The ship also has a library, shop, passenger lift and a small medical centre.
