The story of Natalia Litvinova from Volgograd, who dreamed of seeing Antarctica and spent eight years accumulating funds for this trip, shocked society. Natalia, a person, according to her, who is not used to luxury and spends money mainly on travel, invested all her savings – the result of monthly deductions in the amount of 10 to 15 thousand rubles – in a cherished trip.
But Natalia did not manage to visit Antarctica. The ship deviated from the route and headed for the coast of Argentina. Compensation was promised for this, but Natalia was outraged by the negligence of the organizing company and went on a hunger strike.
600 thousand rubles for a 21-day cruise with 17 stops and four days in Antarctica would seem to be a good deal, especially considering the 50% discount. However, it is important to take into account many factors that affect the cost of such expeditions. These are not only fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate, but also seasonality, complexity of logistics, insurance, and specific equipment.
The cruise organizer, whose name is not indicated in the article, remains unknown. However, we can assume that this is a specialized company engaged in organizing extreme tourist trips. The important point is the language of correspondence – Russian. This may indicate a Russian or international company with a Russian-speaking support service.
