With
an ice strengthened hull, the 210 foot vessels break through the
ice under a looming giant glacial wall of blue ice. The modern research
vessels which cruise the Antarctic waters have been converted to
comfortable passenger vessels. The
Russian crews are experienced at polar navigation and the lecturers
are knowledgeable and dedicated to protecting the environment. All
cabins have windows and are available for both those who want privacy
and those how would like to share. The large bridges of all the
vessels we use allow on-deck observation, but its the zodiac boats
that allow you to get out there and really experience the wild.
