The Khlebnikov has been sailing to the extreme corners of the world since 1992, and in 1997 was the first ship to circumnavigate Antarctica with passengers. With 24,000 horsepower, a 45mm-thick icebreaker hull, a displacement of 15,000 tons, and the latest in satellite navigation, this vessel can literally go anywhere. 56 large deluxe cabins accommodate 112 passengers. European chefs combined with western and Russian wait staff serve the dining room. There is a large lecture hall, bar/lounge, sauna, heated indoor pool, library, and gym. Highly experienced expedition staff, naturalists and lecturers complete the list. Nothing can replace the one-time experience of traveling on an icebreaker. |
