Antarctic Small-Ship Expedition I
11 days - - Dec-Mar - From US $ 4,890

Sister ships Professor Molchanov and Professor Multanovskiy are modern and comfortable oceanographic research vessels. Built in 1983, in Finland, they  were designed as ice-strengthened vessels, and are now under long-term contract by Oceanwide Expeditions. The Professor Molchanov and Professor Multanovskiy have been converted for passenger use and are ideally suited for expedition cruising. They have a good anti-roll system, a range of 70 days independent operation and are ISM certified. The vessels are strongly built of steel, with an ice-strengthened hull, perfect for polar seas. An enthusiastic Russian crew of around 20, all highly experienced in ice navigation mans both the Professor Molchanov and the Professor Multanovskiy. The Russian captains are recognized experts in polar navigation. All of the international expedition leaders and lecturers are highly knowledgeable, helpful and dedicated to the protection of the environment.

The Professor Molchanov and Professor Multanovskiy have a large bridge (where you are almost always welcome) and a good open deck-viewing area. The ship’s deck space will give you a first class wildlife viewing area, and great opportunities to spot whales, birds and other interesting sights. You can sit in sunlight on the top deck during the day, or in the middle of the night, and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. The ships carry a full complement of Zodiac craft, excellent for landings and wildlife viewing opportunities in otherwise inaccessible areas.

Excellent cuisine, prepared by international chefs, is served in the dining room, which also acts as the lecture room. Other public areas include a lounge and a cozy bar where you can read, relax and have a drink. There is also a small library, infirmary, and a sauna that is always warm and accessible to everybody.

The Professor Molchanov and Professor Multanovskiy provide accommodation for 52 travelers in comfortable triple, twin and superior cabins, and a suite. All cabins are outside, with a desk, windows or portholes, and ample storage space.
