Southern Ocean Season Ends in Lyttelton
It was still dark as Spirit of Enderby sailed into Lyttelton with guests out on deck watching the twinkling lights of the port come into view before breakfast is served.
Farewelling our last guests on our final Southern Ocean voyage of the season Chatham Islands - New Zealand's Easternmost Islands, we wave goodbye as their bus heads into the city bound for new adventures and reflect on the major achievement of getting our ship and crew down from Russia, and operating a season for Kiwis amid a global pandemic.
Spirit of Enderby will spend the next two days in port undergoing some end of season maintenance and preparations for our upcoming Russian Far East season before departing on April 2 and heading north for our Northern Season.
