The ‘Grigoriy Mikheev’ is a modern and comfortable research vessel of the Hydrographic Institute of St. Petersburg. Built in 1990 in Finland, and designed as an ice-strengthened vessel, the ship is now under long-term contract by Oceanwide Expeditions. Converted in the Netherlands for passenger use, the vessel is ideally suited to expedition cruising. She has a range of 70 days independent operation and is ISM certified.

The vessel is strongly built of steel with an ice-strengthened hull, perfect for the polar seas. She is manned by an enthusiastic Russian crew of around 20, all highly experienced in ice navigation. Russian captains are recognised 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' has a large bridge (where you are almost always welcome) and good open deck-viewing areas. She carries a full complement of Zodiac craft, excellent for landings and wildlife viewing opportunities in otherwise in-accessible areas. xcellent 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.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant.

You almost always welcome on the bridge.

Splendid views
