Overview:
The Kapitan Khlebnikov was constructed in 1981 by the Wartsila
Company, Finland - the world’s leading builder of
icebreakers. Not simply an ice-reinforced ship, the Kapitan
Khlebnikov is a working icebreaker designed for the challenging
conditions in the seas of northern Siberia. Russian icebreakers
are considered to be among the best and most powerful in
the world. The Kapitan Khlebnikov has sailed to extremely
remote corners of the globe with adventurous travelers since
1992 - no other expedition vessel has navigated more polar
waters. It was the first ship ever to circumnavigate Antarctica
with passengers in 1996-97.
Cabin Description:
Refurbished to accommodate passengers in 54 first-class
outside cabins and suites, the ship is thoroughly comfortable.
All cabins feature private facilities, two lower berths,
a desk and large closets. See
