I have been seriously thinking about going on one of those Arctic cruises. It seems like a cold, but at the same time, and perhaps in compensation really exiting and unique experience. I have seen a few Russian vessels that offer these trips. What is a cruise in the Russian Arctic like?

These ships are old scientific icebreaker ships, which have been renovated and revamped to accommodate the lucky few who can afford to go on such ventures. The staff is often unchanged since the vessels were still there exclusively for scientific purposes. This has the big advantage that they know rather a lot about the area and will be able to explain you almost anything you might want to know.
