| The sister ships Akademik Sergey Vavilov and Akademik Ioffe are exceptional vessels for Arctic and Antarctica cruises.these ships were built for silent “listening” underwater, they run very quietly relative to other ships, making for a very pleasant onboard environment.The ships sail for different operators year by year such as: Peregrine Adventure-Quark Expeditions and OneOcean Expeditions etc.Sometimes under a charter name |

Two Russian research vessels that offered expeditions in the Polar
Regions won’t sail again as cruise ships. The Akademik Ioffe
and Akademik Sergey Vavilov had previously been chartered
to now-defunct One Ocean Expeditions, and will no longer be available to
charter for cruise operations. Since being recalled to Russia last May,
the vessels have sat idle and are now being modernized for a return to
their careers as research
vessels. “The ships are not available for any customers since they are
undergoing modernization and will be thereafter used for research
purposes,” said a statement from the ship’s owners, the P.P. Shirshov
Institute of Oceanology Russian Academy of Sciences. |
