What's Included
At Victory Adventure Expeditions, we know that ensuring a successful polar journey
requires fanatical attention to detail. We also understand that when you
choose to explore these remote corners of the planet, you want to travel
with experts who have thought of everything. Our passionate devotion to
comprehensive planning and support is reflected in every facet of the
expeditions we create. The rate you pay covers your voyage aboard the
Kapitan Khlebnikov or Yamal, from embarkation to disembarkation as
indicated in the itinerary. But it also includes a great deal more:
- Air transportation from the staging point to the port of embarkation, as
well as your return flight from the port of disembarkation.
- Hotel accommodations: 1 night pre-expedition and 1 night post-expedition
lodging with breakfast at the hotel named in the itinerary. The number of
guests per hotel room is the same as the cabin occupancy you have booked
on board the ship. Travelers who reserve a suite on board the ship are
accommodated in standard rooms at the hotel. (Please note: Because this
brochure is published well in advance of our departure dates, occasionally
the hotels listed in the itinerary are not available. In such cases, we arrange
for stays at hotels of comparable quality in similar locations.)
- All breakfasts, lunches and dinners on board the ship throughout your
voyage, including a complimentary glass of house wine with every dinner.
(If you have any special dietary requirements, please inform us as far in
advance of your expedition departure as possible. Regrettably, the ships'
kitchens are not set up for kosher meal preparation.)
- All shore landings and excursions by Zodiac according to the daily
onboard program.
- All helicopter transfers and aerial sightseeing according to each day's
onboard program.
- Leadership throughout the voyage by our experienced Expedition
Leader, including shore landings and other activities arranged by the
Expedition Team.
- Formal and informal educational presentations by our Expedition Team
and guest lecturers as scheduled during the voyage.
- An onboard multimedia artist who, in the tradition of early expeditions,
will chronicle the voyage and produce for each traveler a remarkable
memento of the experience - a digital work on CD combining narrative,
photography and video in the artist's individual style.
- A specially designed expedition parka that is yours to keep. (To simplify
packing, we also lend you a pair of rubber boots for use on landings
throughout your voyage aboard the Kapitan Khlebnikov.)
Comprehensive pre-departure materials, including a map and an
informative Arctic book.
- Round-trip transfers between the host hotel and the airport for your
flights out of and back to the staging point, and between the ship and the
local airport at the port(s) of embarkation and disembarkation - plus all
baggage handling aboard ship.
- All miscellaneous service taxes and port charges throughout the program.
Not Included in Expedition Rates Airfares to or from the gateway
city, whether on scheduled or charter flights; passport and visa expenses;
government arrival and departure taxes; any meals ashore with the exception
of breakfast at the host hotel; baggage, cancellation and travel
insurance (please note that emergency medical insurance is mandatory -
see Terms & Conditions); excess baggage charges; laundry, bar,
beverage and other charges of a personal nature; telecommunications
charges; and the customary gratuity at the end of the voyage for stewards
and other service personnel aboard (guidelines will be provided). Any
possible helicopter flying time in excess of that offered for the group will
be charged at an hourly rate to be announced on board.
Shipboard Policies The ships are smoke-free with
the exception of some outside decks and designated areas. The helicopter
deck and Zodiac decks are smoke-free. There is no smoking in the cabins.
You are welcome to visit the Bridge as often as maritime regulations and
the safety of the ship permit.
SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES
Loyal Travelers Program Many of our travelers return for further
polar adventures with Victory Adventure Expeditions, and we truly appreciate their
loyalty. Once you've traveled with us to any destination, you are eligible
for a discount of 5% off any future expedition.
Back-to-Back Discount Program If you opt to join us for two
(or more) consecutive expeditions - for instance, linking two voyages
across the Canadian Arctic - we will be pleased to offer a 6% discount
off the second expedition (and any additional consecutive expeditions).
Please choose the applicable savings opportunity above that is most advantageous
to you. Note, however, that the opportunities cannot be combined.
Request-Share Program If you are a solo traveler, you can realize
significant savings by taking advantage of our Request-Share Program,
which matches like-minded travelers of the same gender so that they
can share the same twin cabin. While we'll do our best to fulfill your
request, if we cannot find a match, you will pay only the twin rate.
Triple request share is also available on the Kapitan Khlebnikov.
