Antarctica : Marina Svetaeva

Type: Superior Vessel Max capacity: 89 passengers

Named after one of Russia’s most famous 20th century poets, Marina Svetaeva was built in 1989 in Poland. Impressively stable at sea, Svetaeva is a robust vessel yet still small enough to explore places beyond the reach of the bigger ships. The ship is characterised by spacious cabins and large public spaces, including the bridge and outer decks, library and bar. A large presentation room provides the perfect space for passengers and crew to wind down and socialise following dinner in the well-appointed dining rooms.

Unique to Marina Svetaeva: Luxury & Adventure
Setting the Marina Svetaeva apart is the unique opportunity to mix pampering and well-being with adventure against the Antarctic backdrop.  In addition to the kayaking and camping on offer, Marina Svetaeva also boasts an on-board personal fitness trainer and a massage therapist.   Whether you are interested in a vigorous morning exercise workout, something gentle to get the blood flowing, or even a stretching session, our trainer will offer daily activities to help keep you fit. Our massage therapist will offer a range of spa treatments onboard the vessel including Swedish, deep tissue and sports therapy massage, hot stone massage, and various types of hydrotherapy.

Following a day of excursions, a sauna with complimentary aromatic oils can be a wonderful way to unwind. Located on Deck 1, the sauna and adjacent indoor plunge pool is open each afternoon and evening. The sauna seats about six people and the indoor plunge pool is always filled with water. 

Also on board this vessel is a resident photographer, available to offer advice and instruction via multimedia presentations, group workshops or on the spot help whilst out on shore. Our onboard photographer will be available to work with you throughout the voyage to help you improve your photography and will encourage you to look at scenes or events in a different way in order to capture them digitally. You can ask questions to “tweak” your own work and then stay alongside our resident expert on each excursion, gaining valuable improvements to your own work as he/she relates their own career’s experiences.

Finally, unique to this vessel is a team of adventure concierges. They are onboard to take care of every small detail, to personalise your voyage to fit particular needs and interests and to make your experience unforgettable. 

Our View
The Marina Svetaeva offers kayaking and complimentary camping on the ice, as well as an extremely high level of personal service, making this the ideal option for an adventure in style and comfort.
