Pole to Pole cruise?

Friday, 04 Apr, 2007 0

Travel retail specialist MyPlanet Australia is offering an exclusive one-off cruise onboard MS Fram from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Santiago, Chile, via Antarctica, with the 68 day cruise onboard Hurtigruten’s newest vessel, embarking on its maiden journey this May.

The ship will call 43 ports along its journey, from the Nordic Reykjavik to Ushuaia in Argentina, visiting the old world cities of Cork and Galway, the wild coast of New Foundland and the dazzling skyline of New York.

Passengers will be able to experience the mystique of the Caribbean, the intrigue of Central America and the beauty of South America before reaching the Chilean Fjords and Antarctica, with a total of 18 countries are visited during this once-in-a-lifetime cruise.

As most Antarctica cruises, MS Fram will cruise past Cape Horn and across the famous Drake Passage to the vast, white and exposed continent of Antarctica and the cruise will be MS Fram’s maiden Antarctic cruise.

Built in early 2007, the MS Fram is specifically designed for expedition voyaging, boasting a spacious observer lounge, dining room with panoramic windows, two fully equipped lecture rooms, outside observation terraces and decks.

Accommodating just 318 passengers, she is small enough to be intimate but large enough for stability and comfort.

MS Fram has every qualification and satisfies every standard to navigate these seas, both the open ocean and the polar regions.

Prices for this 68 day cruise start at AUD$17,500pp, twin share, and include one night pre-accommodation in Reykjavik, full board onboard MS Fram, landings in Antarctica, one night post-accommodation in Ushuaia and charter flight to Santiago.
