It's decided!  CNH Tours founders, Heather Blenkiron and her husband Marc Patry will be leading a 20 day “Grand Tour” of Antarctica from the 14 February to the 4^th March 2028.   “We’re hoping to have 20 people join us on this amazing adventure” says Heather. 

The 10 people already signed up are benefitting from a 21% group discount from the published price.   On top of that, CNH Tours is throwing in complimentary emergency medical evacuation insurance, carbon offsetting, a group dinner on the night before embarkation, a group wine & cheese event on board, and for those booking before 30 April 2026, a US$500 / person discount on any other CNH Tours trip booked before 31 December 2027.  You'll also have the services of your trip concierge - our Antarctica specialist Kathy Haesevoets - who will be on hand to answer all your questions as you prepare for the trip.  She will host a pre-trip zoom conference for all participants so that we'll be as prepared as can be.  

Marc explains:  “If you’ve had Antarctica on your bucket list, it may not get better than this... We’re spending time in the Falkland Islands, in South Georgia and around the Antarctica Peninsula, giving you a full exposure to diverse ecosystems, landscapes, remote towns and fascinating stories of exploration and industry”.  Indeed, the Falklands has been a geopolitical flashpoint for years - and also where you find the most southerly English pubs on earth (along with the peculiar looking rock-hopper penguins).   South Georgia is also known as the Serengeti of the south - with hundreds of thousands of penguins, elephant seals, several species of albatross and other wildlife.  It's also where the determined Antarctic explorer, Ernest Shackleton, was laid to rest, and the site of busy early 20th century whaling stations.

The group will be aboard the 130 passenger Ocean Explorer – purposely-built to navigate icy polar waters.   Prices start at US$21,555 (triple cabin shared) and US$25,585 (double cabin, veranda stateroom, shared).
