Cold holiday, cool style

IMAGINE this - landing on a remote icy runway in Antarctica on a private jet, exploring the landscape with expert trekkers, chatting with scientists, sipping Mumm champagne and playing with penguins.

No need to book flight tickets, surf the internet for lodging arrangements or make that appointment with the scientists.

Leave it to fashion label dunhill to do all the necessary leg-work for an exhilarating 12-day adventure.

If you're a dunhill man you would understand this seemingly unlikely marriage of fashion and travel, cashmere sweaters and bold expeditions, fountain pens and grand tours.

When Alfred Dunhill took over his father's saddlery business, he introduced a line of travel accessories such as leather overcoats, goggles and car horns.

Since then, dunhill has pursued this spirit of adventure, innovation as well as style, and developed a tradition of outfitting bold expeditions and luxury travel.

Step into icy caves beneath the camps.

For the Antarctica adventure, dunhill teams up with six-star tour company White Desert (the only company that takes you into the heart of the Antarctica) to offer one of the world's ultimate experiences - a combination of luxury and adventure.

Expert polar explorers will lead the way to explore a pristine landscape, scaling icy peaks and spending time with a colony of Emperor penguins.

Not only that but those on the trip will be kitted out in dunhill gear. Upon confirmation of booking, each traveller will receive a dunhill Traditional Leather Travel Wallet and a bottle of limited GH Mumm Cuvee R. Lalou champagne.

Other exclusive indulgences include a range of cashmere blend product - beanie, scarf, blanket, a Teflon-coated sweater, a Traditional Leather Bound Journal and dunhill pen in a customised leather case.

After the trip, travellers will be sent a dunhill leather photo frame with a picture of the adventure. Check out the complete itinerary on http://www.dunhill.com

The excursion, scheduled for Nov 18-30, 2008, will start from the Mount Nelson Hotel in South Africa. The price tag? A cool 35,500 Euros (about S$75,338) per person.
