In Antarctica we operate
both the Akademik Ioffe and, her
sister ship, the Akademik Sergei Vavilov.
Widely regarded as the finest expedition ships operating
in Polar waters, each offers a high level of comfort
- in her appointments, stability and strength.
As working scientific research vessels, they form the
ideal platforms from which to explore. We have all the
equipment needed for exploring, from zodiac landing craft
to kayaks and camping gear. We even carry snowshoes.
The two ships are virtually identical, which means we
can offer the same great program and leadership, for
which we are now so well known, on both vessels.
The Akademik Ioffe is widely recognised
as the best expedition-style cruise vessel operating
in Polar waters. She's a well-equipped, ice-rated ship
capable of carrying up to 118 passengers, although we
normally carry no more than 110 for extra comfort. In
terms of stability and speed, she is 'state of the art'
and, while not luxurious, she's very comfortable and
kept in top condition.
The Akademik Sergei Vavilov is the
sister ship of the Akademik Ioffe and
offers an almost identical experience. We are very proud
to be the operator of these unique vessels - the pride
of the Russian Academy of Science.

The Adventurer was built in 1975 and underwent a $13 million conversion in 1998 in Scandinavia. She is a superb expedition vessel, reminiscent of the days of the great ocean liners, with lots of varnished wood and brass.
Equipped with state-of-the-art sonar, stabilizers and classified A-1 ice-class, she navigates the Arctic and Antarctic waters with ease. The Adventurer carries a fleet of inflatable Zodiacs which can be launched at a moment's notice.
All cabins have an outside view, lower beds, private bathrooms, in-room music, individual temperature controls and a 220-volt hairdryer.
The window-lined dining room serves delicious international cuisine, with meals individually prepared to order using the finest and freshest ingredients possible. The galleys are run by fine executive chefs trained at the most prestigious culinary academies. Whenever possible local specialities will also appear on the menu. Presentations are held in the lounge which can seat all 122 passengers in one sitting, and has a large screen and projector for slide shows. As well as a bar in the main lounge, there is also a bar in the more intimate club room, which seats up to 45.
The Captain and his officers maintain an open bridge to give passengers an opportunity to observe and ask questions. An experienced cruise staff, physician, and on board lecturers accompany all voyages to enhance the passengers’ enjoyment of the places visited.
