Been everywhere, seen everything there is to see? If
yes, then this maybe the perfect trip for you. Setting sail from Murmansk
in Northern Russia, the expedition vessel Yamal cuts its way through
the pack ice until you reach the geographical North Pole. Crossing first
through the Barents Sea, the Yamal spends the following three days sailing
through the ice before finally arriving at your destination. A celebratory
meal is prepared at the pole and for the brave there is the option to
swim in the arctic waters. On the return the vessel passes by Franz Josef
Land, where you can look out for Arctic Fox and Polar Bears.

in addition there are helicopters available for excursions. There is a pool,
sauna and exercise room. Bridge visits are allowed, on deck there is a library

If you like to be surrounded by wildlife in amazing scenery then
head to the unspoilt wilderness of the Arctic. Polar Bears and
walruses idle their days away on the blue ice, puffins and terns
fill the skies, whales and narwhals swim along the currents below.
