Included Aerial Sightseeing aboard Helicopters
Our Icebreaker Adventures offer itineraries that take you to regions inaccessible to traditional expedition vessels, with aerial sightseeing by onboard helicopters. In the Arctic, you have a choice of vessels - 50 Years of Victory or Kapitan Khlebnikov. In the Antarctic, Quark operates the only polar-class icebreaker outfitted for expedition travel, Kapitan Khlebnikov
In addition to helicopters, Kapitan Khlebnikov is equipped with a fleet of Zodiac landing craft. They are used for shore transfers, when helicopters are unnecessary, and for ocean-level expedition cruising.
