| During this 26-day voyage aboard sturdy icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov, pay homage to the legendary reputations of Antarctica and explore the Bay of Whales, the closest area to the South Pole accessible by ship. You may also be able to visit the humble remains of century old base camps including Scott and Shackleton’s huts, accompanied by a renowned Antarctic historian. At the same time specialists in marine biology, ornithology and glaciation provide expert commentary on the wildlife you encounter.
With the most keenly priced pre-Christmas flights disappearing fast, now is the time to book this voyage, but spaces are limited so make sure to secure your cabin now! The itinerary commences with an overnight in Auckland on 12 December, before passengers then fly to Christchurch on 13 December (flight at an additional cost) to join the icebreaker at Lyttelton , New Zealand and set sail for the wondrous white continent. Prices start from £10585 per person (please contact our team for details of flight prices and additional arrangements in Australasia as well as an update as to the fuel surcharge applicable for this voyage).
