A spectacular superyacht has a last-minute cancellation. We at 1-800 Yacht Charters are pleased to announce a special opportunity. This is your time to discover Antarctica this January on the world’s largest ice-breaking yacht. She is 77 meter (254 ft) motor yacht LEGEND.
THE ULTIMATE LUXURY EXPEDITION
We first introduced our readers to expedition yacht charter vessel LEGEND. We also discussed her upcoming schedule for Antarctica in a blog in October. Owner Jan Verkerk gave the green light to accept reservations in Antarctica through mid February, 2017. The ship is a commercial vessel from 1973. She was then purchased by Verkerk. He outfitted her in 2015-2016 as the ultimate luxury ice-breaker. This enabled charter clients the unique opportunity to explore one of the last great frontiers on the planet earth. This is from the comfort of a luxury yacht charter vessel.
ABOUT CHARTER YACHT LEGEND
The yacht is packed full of features. For instance, a helicopter and a 3-man submarine. Super yacht LEGEND allows her guests to explore the rare frozen world. She has an entirely new angle. Think of the early explorers who trekked across the frozen tundra in snowshoes and slept in tents!
Intimate gatherings and relaxation can be found in the cinema, the Balinese-themed spa, or bubbling away on deck in the heated Jacuzzi. There’s even a real fireplace in the saloon where you can cozy up and enjoy a good book.
Active guests can get their hearts pumping with a workout in the gym, exploring the ice packs on snow scooters, or hiking and coming face-to-face with the wildlife.
