Join Geoffrey Kent on a Once-in-a-Lifetime Voyage to Antarctica
He will cruise with A&K guests on board 'Le Boreal' through the Southern Ocean, going ashore for close encounters with wildlife and relishing the beauty of one of the world's most unspoiled destinations.

He will also share this experience with A&K guests like you – people with a passion for exploration who have made possible their remarkable success over the last five decades.

Kent will be hosting a cocktail reception for guests to celebrate, where he will share stories about exploring some of the world's most remote and challenging destinations over the past 50 years. Born in Kenya, he joined his parents in founding Abercrombie & Kent in 1962 as a luxury safari outfitter with the philosophy of "shoot with a camera not with a gun."

Shore excursions in Antarctica are designed to educate and inspire, with a carefully selected team of leading naturalists, geologists, historians, marine biologists, ornithologists and photographers -- experts who give enriching lectures and provide hands-on guidance both on board and on shore, ranging from the practical (how to master your digital camera) to the personal (a first-hand account of overwintering on a remote sub-Antarctic island). With an average of 15 years' experience navigating the Southern Ocean, each A&K Zodiac driver is a certified field naturalist who provides knowledgeable commentary on the twice-daily excursions that take guests into the heart of this once-in-a-lifetime destination. With a guide-to-passenger ratio of 1:12, guests can expect personalized attention.

The 14-day journey is priced from $10,995 per person, double occupancy.

Travelers unable to get away in November can still save 25% on December voyages to Antarctica when booked by June 15, 2012.
