Professor Multanovskiy

Small, ice-strengthened vessel offering an experience more like a private expedition than a conventional cruise.

The Professor Multanovskiy was built in Finland for polar and oceanographic research. The ship has been continuously refurbished since its conversion for passenger use and is ideally suited for expedition cruising.

The Professor Multanovskiy carries a maximum of 49 travelers in comfortable triple, twin and superior cabins, and suites. All cabins are outside, with a desk, ample storage space and windows.

Cabins on Decks 4 and 5 have private facilities with upper and lower berths. There are a few exceptions on Deck 4 where some of the cabins with private facilities have two lower berths. The cabins on Deck 3 have two lower berths and convenient shared facilities.

Public areas on the vessel include a lounge and bar, small library, infirmary, sauna and dining room(s). Views are excellent from the large, open deck and navigation bridge (where we are almost always welcome).

The atmosphere aboard is relaxed, more akin to that of a private expedition than a conventional cruise ship.

Dining
European chefs prepare excellent varied international cuisine, using high-quality provisions from around the world. The comfortable bar is stocked with a good selection of wine, champagne and spirits. Dining room service is provided by a combination of Russian and Western staff.

Expedition Staff, Officers and Crew
The ships are staffed by Russian officers and crew, all highly experienced in ice navigation. Russian captains are recognised experts in polar operations.

All our voyages are led by dedicated and enthusiastic expedition staff, many of whom travel with us to the Arctic or Antarctic each season. They are chosen not only for their knowledge and experience but also their great love of the polar regions.

Technical Gear
With ice-strengthened hulls, we navigate scenic waterways with ease, venturing into areas closed to larger vessels. Designed to explore remote corners of the world, the ship is equipped with passive stabilizers for smooth sailing and meet all international environmental and safety standards. The vessel is equipped with sophisticated satellite navigation equipment.
