North Pole Cruises
Arrive at the Murmansk Airport and transfer to your hotel. Acclimatizing yourself with the weather is imperative for the voyage ahead.
Head to the sailing port, where you will board an Icebreaker Ship. Check in to your cosy cabin which is going to be your home for the days to come. Orient yourself with the Ship and its crew along with briefing sessions for the journey. The ship begins to sail north bound from Kola Bay.
As the ship moves north along the Barents Sea, you have an opportunity to spot Arctic Whales. Learn more about the Icebreaker Ship along a tour of the engine room.
On deck, watch how this specialised ship breaks through ice sheets to navigate its way across the Arctic Circle. Feel the icy wind on your face and capture the beauty of icebergs, frozen waters and arctic marine life surrounding you.
Experience an adventure like never before, hop on the on board helicopter as it takes you high up in the air for a clear panoramic view of the entire Arctic circle, with the ship underneath you, navigating its way among ice sheets.
As you almost reach the North Pole, take advantage of the Midnight Sun; 24 hours sunlight. During summers, the sun does not set in this region, making it ideal for endless photography and helicopter sightseeing.
The most grand day of all, you arrive at the North Pole, the Northernmost point of the world where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. Walk on the ice sheets to stand next to 90 degrees North. Treat yourself to a barbeque meal on the ice sheets at the top of the world. You may even have a chance to plunge yourself in the icy waters of the North Pole. Fill your gallery with this lifetime feat by clicking endless pictures.
Reach the Franz Josef archipelago, part of the Russian National Park. You can easily spot Arctic wildlife like the very famous Polar Bears, Walruses and Whales. A number of migratory birds like guillemots, dovekies, and ivory gulls can also be easily spotted on this land of cliffs and slopes.
Explore the mysterious stone spheres on Champ Island and Cape Fligely on Rudolf Island, which is the northernmost point of land in the Eastern Hemisphere. Memorials, monuments, crosses, and the remains of dwellings in this land are testimony of historic feats of the explorers as our naturalists & guides tell you all about them.
Journey down South from the Franz Josef Land. The ship hosts a variety of presentations and workshops to provide you with knowledge about the magnanimous voyage you are a part of. Sea bird watching can also be done on the panoramic deck of the ship.
Take advantage of the on board facilities and amenities such as the library, sauna, spa, gift shop, warm pool, gym or the volleyball court. You can access these at any time during the voyage to make your stay more wholesome.
Post breakfast, bid farewell to your ship which has been your home for over 10 nights. Transfer to the airport for your flight back home as the experience of the North Pole culminates.
