Accommodation: Spirit of Enderby

Spirit of Enderby

from USD 2467 (£1239) per room

Spirit of Enberby Ice Breaker, Invercargill (East Antarctica Embarkation), Ross Sea, Antarctica

The Spirit of Enderby spends most of her year voyaging around the Polar waters of Antarctica.

The 'Spirit of Enderby' is perfect for Expedition Travel. Carrying just 48 passengers in very comfortable accommodation (refurbished in New Zealand Nov '04).

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 most experienced Russian Capitan and crew.

The 'Spirit of Enderby' measures 72 metres in length and is fully ice-strengthened. Powered by two 1,560 horse power diesel engines. It is capable of speeds of up to 12 knots. What makes this Expedition Vessel absolutely unique is the equipment it carrys including:

a) A fleet of RIB’s, (rigid inflatable boats) sometimes referred to as zodiacs. These extremely safe and stable craft will land you at some of the most amazing places.

b) Specially designed and built Hovercraft (2) give us unprecedented over ice capability in Antarctica allowing us to land in places that are inaccessible to other ships.
