Epic Northeast Passage Expedition 27 Days
Aboard: Akademik Shokalskiy
This one-of-a-kind voyage will take you through the rarely explored Northeast Passage to discover these remote shores that are teeming with an abundance of wildlife, narrow fjords and remnants of Arctic history. This very special route is only achievable during a short window in the Arctic summer and you could be one of very few people to have ever transited these mysterious and fabled waterways.
Cruising from Murmansk to Anadyr, we will make our way through the High Arctic, sailing through the mythical waters of the Chukchi, East Siberian, Laptev, Kara & Barents Seas to visit intriguing landing sites such as Wrangel Island, Franz Josef Land, and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago. These vast shallow waters north of Russia are a refuge for many Arctic wildlife species such as Polar bears, various species of walrus and whales, and iconic birds like Ivory gulls, Sabine's gulls and the elusive Ross's Gulls. Come with us as we explore some of the most seldom visited shores on the planet.
Note. Local landing charges of US$500 cash apply to this itinerary
