We invite you to join our Icebreaker Expedition to the North Pole and explore the most remote and distinctive part of our planet. Only a few have had the chance to get there since the Arctic North Pole has been conquered! A North Pole Voyage aboard the icebreaker takes place in the region with one of the harshest climates on Earth. This voyage is a real expedition - although without all the hardships of the first exploration journeys. The icebreaker "Yamal", which will be your comfortable hotel during the trip, will get you through the magnificent fields of hard pack ice. The wild grandeur of the endless ice landscape is fascinating and will stick in your memory forever.
Technical characteristics of the icebreaker: It is a vessel of 23,000 tons displacement and 75,000 h.p. capacity. With a hull thickness of 48 mm, it is one of the most powerful and sophisticated ships in the world. Designed as a working ship for ploughing through Russia's sea routes in the north, the "Yamal" can crash through the thickest and heaviest ice. This remarkable vessel combines advanced technology and comfortable passenger accommodation. The nuclear icebreaker "Yamal" was built in St. Petersburg in 1992 and meets all international requirements for this type of vessels. The crew meets the requirements of the International Conventions regarding crew and officers. The vessel is equipped with the most up-to-date satellite navigation system and communication equipment, including a telephone, and e-mail (Inmarsat and Irridium).
High quality accommodation: Passengers aboard "Yamal" are lodged in 50 outside cabins (i.e., having windows or portholes) and first class cabins with all amenities including private bathroom, large portholes, desk, television, and more. Public areas include a large passenger lounge (that can accommodate all passengers at once), restroom, cinema/lecture hall, basketball court, gymnasium, and an indoor swimming pool filled with heated sea water, in addition to a sauna. The captain's bridge (open almost around the clock) and wide, open decks at various levels, provide splendid views from the ship. The "Yamal" also has a rich library and a small hospital.
Employees, guides and the crew: Our icebreaker has an experienced staff of 150 persons, including 50 employees and mechanics. Russia's icebreaker fleet is considered to be the world's biggest and most up-to-date and Russians are recognized experts in polar research. The expedition is directed by an experienced leader with a staff of specialists chosen for their local knowledge and professional expertise.
Superb cuisine: Qualified chefs prepare varied international cuisine, and experienced staff attend your needs. The bar has a large supply of alcoholic and soft drinks.
