Arctic : Kapitan Dranitsyn

Type: Icebreaker Max capacity: 100 passengers

New for 2012, we’re delighted to introduce the Russian ice-breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn. Sister ship to the legendary Kapitan Khlebnikov, the Dranitsyn offers the chance to reach less accessible parts of the polar regions with her impressive ability to power through the ice.

 

Introduction

The Russian icebreaker Kapitan Dranitsyn was built in Finland in 1980, and upgraded in 1999. The Kapitan Dranitsyn is virtually identical to her sister ship, the famous Kapitan Khlebnikov, and like the KK features onboard helicopters for spectacular aerial sightseeing, as well as a fleet of zodiacs for shore landings and cruises.

Facilities onboard include a sauna, heated indoor pool and gym; also a library, lecture theatre, passenger elevator and medical room. The comfortable lounge and friendly bar ensure there is always space to relax.

All cabins and suites have private facilities & ocean views, and the suites each offer a separate sitting room.

Triple Cabin (7) 1 lower berth, 1 sofa bed, 1 pull-down upper berth, desk and chair.

Twin Cabin (41) 1 lower berth, 1 sofa bed, desk and chair.

Suite (4) 1 bed and sofa bed, separate sitting room, 2 opening windows, 2 desks/chairs, table, TV/VCR.

Corner Suite (2) 1 bed, 1 sofa bed, separate sitting room, 4 opening windows, 2 desks/chairs, table, refrigerator, TV/VCR.
