Hapag-Lloyd Cruises says the decision to switch the voyage from being German-only to bilingual follows “great interest from the international market”.

The itinerary is priced from USD$31,559 per person twin share (Platinum fare). There are limited single cabins also available. The Single Supplement is 25% of the cruise fare for Antarctic voyages.
