Admired for its expertise and experience, luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent has run well over 200 polar sailings over the last 25 years. Currently, the company charters Ponant's Le Lyrial, a stunningly sleek ice-class yacht with a chic interior design, and amenities like private balconies for all accommodations, two restaurants and an open-air bar. Although Ponant is a French bilingual line, on A&K charters, only English is spoken. In addition, A&K brings its own expedition lecturers and experts onboard, ensuring that they meet the company's high standards. With just 199 passengers onboard, all cruisers can easily participate in every shore excursion. Onboard lectures by historians and Polar Medal winners (honorees for major achievement in polar regions) , not just expedition scientists, are an A&K hallmark. Cruisers receive complimentary use of rental boots, waterproof pants and trekking poles. An open bar, all shore excursions and gratuities are also included in the fares. A&K Antarctica sails also add a pre-cruise, one-night luxury hotel stay in Buenos Aires, and round trip charter flights and transfers between Buenos Aires and Ushuaia, Argentina, the embarkation and debarkation ports.
