Introduction
The Kapitan Khlebnikov combines power and technology with comfort and has 52 en-suite cabins and a maximum of 102 guests. This polar class icebreaker was originally designed for the ice-choked waters of norther Siberia. Its 24,000 horsepower engine and advanced ice-breaking technology allows access to places in the Russian Far East that no other ship can. She has a fleet of Zodiacs to take passengers on excursions.
She carries just 102 passengers and was refurbished in March 2013 to provide comfortable accommodation in twin share cabins all have private facilities. All cabins have outside windows or portholes and ample storage space. On board there is a combined bar/library lounge area and a dedicated lecture room. The cuisine is very good and is prepared by top NZ and Australian chefs.
The real focus and emphasis of every expedition is getting you into zodiacs, or ashore as often as possible for as long as possible with maximum safety and comfort. Our Expeditions are accompanied by some of the most experienced naturalists and guides, who have devoted a lifetime to field research in the areas that we visit. The ship is crewed by a very enthusiastic and experienced Russian Captain and crew.
