The icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov will be retiring from polar expeditions after the 2011/12 Antarctica cruise season. There is still time to join a cruise on the Khlebnikov to see the Arctic or Antarctica—including some of the only trips available to see emperor penguins in the wild. Many of the 2010 Arctic cruises have been discounted by 20% and the final two Khlebnikov voyages scheduled for 2011/12 are filling very quickly!
