Spitsbergen and Franz Josef Land brochure for 2008.




 Navigation in Arctic regions depends heavily on weather and ice condition. Our routes are structured so that they should allow the passengers to spend as much time as possible on the shore getting to know live nature and historical places of this severe region. Using our special boats, we shall land in the places where other ships dare not approach.

Members of our Expedition Team have one thing in common: all of them are devoted to the Arctic. They are open and frank people, willing to share their Arctic experience with you. Their job is to keep your Arctic adventure exciting and thrilling, yet absolutely safe. Expeditions to the Russian Arctic are anything but boring. Lectures on the wide range of topics are followed by the Zodiac trips to the glaciers amid the icy fields, then by helicopter landings on the picturesque islands… and so on. Our lecturers deliver the scientific information to you in the most understandable and informal manner, while the Zodiac drivers and helicopter pilots try to make the most of every excursion for you to get a better idea of our destinations. We always keep an open eye for the Arctic wildlife, while sailing or ashore: it may appear out of nowhere, and we have to react fast. You are advised timely, as soon as any representative of the Arctic fauna is near and can be seen.…
