Semi-Circumnavigation: Epic Antarctica 2009

Come aboard the only passenger expedition in 2009 to visit the Phantom Coast! Explorer Richard E. Byrd gave this coast between Palmer Peninsula and Thurston Island its ghostly title because of how difficult it was to find, but you’ll easily navigate remote regions of this mysterious continent in our polar class icebreaker, Kapitan Khlebinov. You’ll sail all the way from Argentina to New Zealand while experiencing Antarctica at its best. The continent’s abundant wildlife, including seals, penguins, sea lions, and a variety of birds, will leave you breathless. Epic Antarctica gives you the opportunity to explore areas few people have ventured before, such as Peter I Island and the McMurdo Dry Valleys, and allows you to visit historically significant research stations. This unique journey will satisfy your taste for adventure and give you memories to last a lifetime.
