Antarctica charter special: save 10% on board expedition yacht LEGEND

By Rebecca Bradbury 31 October 2018

The 77m/254ft superyacht LEGEND from IHC Verschure is offering a 10 percent discount on her weekly base rate for charters taking place in February 2019 in the far-flung cruising grounds of Antarctica.

An ice-breaking hull, helipad and go-anywhere cruising capabilities make LEGEND the perfect platform for adventuring to the rugged, remote and utterly sublime waters of the so-called White Continent.

The expedition yacht doesn’t solely focus on exploration, however. She is also jam-packed with luxuries, modern amenities and high-end leisure facilities, ensuring charterers can discover one of the world’s most off-the-beaten-track destinations in the very best style and absolute comfort.

Not many superyachts of LEGEND’s calibre dare to journey to this part of the planet, so the chance to enjoy a charter on board while taking advantage of a special rate is a very rare opportunity.

Plus, she is one of the unusual charter yachts capable of hosting large parties. In total, 26 guests can sleep in 13 cabins, including a master suite, two VIP suites, four double cabins and six twin cabins. This is alongside being able to accommodate up to 19 crew and an extra 10 expedition crew.

Guests on board in Antarctica can expect to see soaring, snow-blanketed mountains, other-worldly ice towers, magnificent glaciers and amazing amimals, such as penguins, seals and humpback whales.

To get the best out of a yacht charter to the region, a helicopter and a three-man submarine can be chartered at an extra cost and stored on board. This will allow discerning travellers to take in the vast white wilderness and its wonderful wildlife from above and below the water in all its spectacular glory.

Luxury yacht LEGEND also comes equipped with a whole host of other toys to aid exploration, from kayaks, jet-skis and RIBs to snow scooters and ice-diving equipment. And, after soaking up the surrounds, guests can warm up and unwind in the Balinese spa, complete with a sauna, Jacuzzi and beauty salon.

The entire charter party can then catch up over a delicious dinner, either outdoors on the aft deck or in the main salon before retreating to one of her sumptuous lounging areas. Other highlights include a swimming pool, a gym, fireplaces, a movie suite and a medical centre.
