Ship Information - Three Arctic Islands: Iceland, Greenland, Spitsbergen
Built in Finland by the Russian Academy of Science in the late 1980s, Akademik Sergey Vavilov's original mission was to perform sensitive hydro-acoustic ocean reseach. As such, she is exceptionally quick, quiet and stable.
Vavilov is now recognized as one of the sturdiest expedition ships to ever sail the polar seas, and we're delighted to offer you a berth on this exceptional vessel. This polar cruise ship boasts state-of-the-art technology and outstanding stability, making for a truly memorable trip.
