It begins aboard the Kapitan Khlebnikov.
Our partnership with the world's leading polar cruise
company, Quark Expeditions, brings you an Antarctic experience beyond your wildest expectations.  Step aboard the Kapitan Khlebnikov - the polar-class icebreaker that will crush through layers of ice to take you where other ships are unable to sail - and experience its special touches. From gourmet cuisine prepared by European chefs, to cocktail parties with the Captain and special lectures given by our naturalists and polar historians, these extras are yours to indulge in. Plus exclusive helicopter tours to breathtaking locations and cultural sites that are virtually inaccessible any other way. Not to mention the indulgent feeling that comes from being one of the mere 112 guests on board.
At the end of the evening, when your head hits the pillow, you'll sleep soundly knowing that the Kapitan Khlebnikov was designed to leave undisturbed the precious waters that it sails.

- Antarctic Sound: Welcome to "iceberg alley" and the accompanying views that can be described only as amazing. Based on how easy this icy waterway is to navigate, we will determine whether we visit Paulet Island, Hope Bay or Brown Bluff.
- Antarctic Peninsula: This is the spot for experiencing the best wildlife on the continent. There are gentoo and chinstrap penguins. Blue-eyed shags and snowy sheathbills. Crabeater seals and minke whales. And that's just for starters.
- Elephant Island: Imagine seeing the place where Shackleton and his men made camp after their ship, the Endurance, sank in 1915. Feel yourself being transported as your guide expertly recounts this epic voyage.
- Weddell Sea: East of the Antarctic Sound lies the Weddell Sea. Chocked with ice shelves, rock faces and tabular icebergs, it's an explorer's delight.
- South Shetland Islands: This string of islands lies about 100 miles north of the Antarctic Peninsula and includes such diverse treats as a penguin rookery and a sunken caldera.
- Cape Horn: This southernmost point of South America marks the place where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet. Thanks to the
California Gold Rush of 1849, this route became a popular shortcut to North America.
- Isla Baltra: Ushuaia, Argentina This southernmost city is well situated between the breathtaking Andes Mountains and the protected Beagle Channel. It's also where you'll enjoy an overnight stay in the Hotel Los Nires (or similar hotel) before embarking on your polar expedition.
- Drake Passage: Named after the famed 16th-century explorer, Sir Francis Drake, this watery thoroughfare flows between South America and Antarctica and is a popular migratory route for the Wandering, Black-browed and Sooty Albatross.
