Even today reaching 90º North is a challenging journey, but you will be astonished at how easy your icebreaker, theYamal makes it look. Imagine watching from the Bridge as the icebreaker slices her way through the formidable arctic pack ice. At sea look out for whales, orcas and the mystical narwhal. You may also see a plethora of wildlife; polar bears, arctic foxes and other astonishing arctic inhabitants on this stunning voyage.
On your incredible journey through the Arctic you reach some of the most remote and beautiful places in the world. Embarking on this voyage, you will become one of the few people who strive to achieve the incredible goal of reaching the North Pole.

The total eclipse will only be visible from a narrow corridor in this region on 1st August 2008, when we hope to sit in the very centre of the eclipse path across the earth, which will cross the northern island of Novaya Zemlya.
This truly is a once in a lifetime voyage that is guaranteed to take your breath away! The North Pole Solar Eclipse voyage is extremely popular and has very limited space, so book early for this remarkable experience.
