Grigoriy Mikheev & Alexsey
Maryshev
 The
‘Grigoriy Mikheev’ and "Alexsey Maryshev" are modern and
comfortable research vessels of the Hydrographic Institute of St.
Petersburg. Built in 1990 in Finland, and designed as an ice-strengthened
vessel. Converted in the
Netherlands for passenger use, the vessels are ideally suited to expedition
cruising. They have 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 the polar seas. They are manned by an enthusiastic Russian crew
of around 20, all highly experienced in ice navigation. Russian captains are
recognized experts in polar navigation.
All our international expedition leaders and lecturers are highly
knowledgeable, helpful and dedicated to the protection of the environment.
The 'Grigoriy Mikheev' and "Alexsey Maryshev" have a large bridge (where you
are almost always welcome) and good open deck-viewing areas. They carry a
full complement of Zodiac craft, excellent for landings and wildlife viewing
opportunities in otherwise in-accessible 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 bar, small library, infirmary, and sauna.
