Exploring The Exotic - Antarctica Cruise
by: Colin Hartness
Antarctica is one of the great unexplored areas of
the world. It wasn’t until the last fifty years that there has
been any appreciable exploration or study of the vast frozen continent.
Now the tourist with sufficient money can actually view and set foot
on this unique part of the earth.
The tourist season for Antarctica Cruises is restricted only
to the months of December through February when it is the peak of summer
in the southernmost part of the world. Only vessels equipped for the
icy waters cruise to one of the coldest areas of the earth. Three major
cruise lines offer Antarctic cruises: Celebrity Cruises, Orient
Lines, and Radisson Seven Seas. Smaller specialty expedition companies
also offer other trips to this destination.
Celebrity Cruises travels to Antarctica with the polar icebreaker Kapitan
Khlebnikov, a refitted 1980’s Russian polar research vessel. This
ship takes a fortunate 106 passengers to the polar region with the amenities
expected from Celebrity Cruises such as pool, sauna, and gym. Accommodations
are small by comparison to a cruise ship
