Professor Multanovskiy
Adventure Class - Antarctica Cruises

The Professor Molchanov and the Professor Multanovskiy are modern and comfortable oceanographic research vessels. Built in 1983 in Finland, both were designed as ice-strengthened vessels, and 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 built of steel with an ice strengthened hull (ice-strengthened from the bow until about 1/4 of the ships length), perfect for polar seas. They have the Russian ice-class notation LU(1), which is identical with Lloyds Register 1D.

The Professor Molchanov and the Professor Multanovskiy are manned by enthusiastic Russian crews of around 20, all highly experienced in ice navigation. Russian captains are recognized experts in polar navigation. Their international expedition leaders and lecturers are highly knowledgeable, helpful and dedicated to the protection of the environment.

The ships 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. 3-Star meals, prepared by international chefs, are 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.

The ships have 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. The deck spaces give you first class wildlife viewing and great opportunities to spot whales, birds and other interesting sightings. It’s an awesome feeling to sit in bright sunlight on the top deck in the middle of the night and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.
