Trip Reviews
"This trip exceeded my expectations - Antarctica is magical, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the meals and service astoundingly good. Thank you!"
Emperor Penguins:
Snow Hill Island Safari
Departures: October 13, 2010 to October 25, 2010
Rate Range:
$15,290 to
$24,990
Kapitan Khlebnikov is sailing twice to the Snow Hill Island rookery in 2010 - and then - never again. Due to the thickness of the ice and weather conditions in the Weddell Sea at this time of year, only a polar-class icebreaker makes this visit possible. An icebreaker is the superior vessel should strong winds and white-out conditions occur: The sort of conditions that Antarctic explorers faced nearly a century ago.
If you want to experience Antarctica as explorers did a century ago, or see fluffy Emperor Penguin chicks tended by adults marching to and fro, don't delay. Book a cabin on one of these two End of an Era voyages.
During the October 13 to 26, 2010 sailing, Julie Scardina will be on board sharing behind-the-scene stories of animal training at SeaWorld.
During the October 25, 2010 sailing, Peter Fretwell will be on board sharing satellite images and behind-the-scene stories of discovery.
