Intrepid launches polar expeditions
Intrepid Travel will sell trips to Antarctica from the 2010/11 season on a small, expedition icebreaker ship, purpose-built for polar travel.
Intrepid has signed an agreement with M/V Polar Star and Heritage Expeditions to offer travellers an Antarctic adventure on one of the smallest ships in the region, with room for just 100 passengers.
A fleet of zodiacs will provide access to small or shallow areas and landings.
Four itineraries will be offered, ranging from 10 to 19 days. All trips – from November to March – will depart from and return to Ushaia in Argentina.
Intrepid is offering various special deals to mark the new venture.
It will also adopt an Adelie penguin for every passenger who books on the 2010/11 season. Proceeds from the adoption will go towards WWF NZ’s conservation work in the region.
