The powerhouse icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov (pronounced KLEB-nik-off) has accessed some of the world's most impenetrable and ice-choked waters since 1992. In 1997, it made history by being the first ship to ever circumnavigate Antarctica with passengers.
The Kapitan Khlebnikov is a polar-class icebreaker combing power and technology with comfort. No passenger ship has transited the Northwest Passage more often than the renowned Kapitan Khlebnikov. Originally designed to take on the rigors of northern Siberia, the 24,000 horsepower engine and advanced ice-breaking technology take you places no other ship can.
The ship offers 51 outside cabins and suites, all featuring private facilities, large windows, desk, hair dryer, robes and large closets. All suites have a sitting room separated from the bedroom.
On-board helicopters and the Khlebnikov's sheer icebreaking force combine to take you to some of the most magnificent regions of the world others dare not sail.
