Russian icebreakers are considered to be among the best and most powerful in the world. The Kapitan Khlebnikov has sailed to extremely remote corners of the globe with adventurous travelers since 1992 - no other expedition vessel has navigated more polar waters. It was the first ship ever to circumnavigate Antarctica with passengers in 1996-97. Refurbished to accommodate passengers in 54 first-class outside cabins and suites, the ship is thoroughly comfortable. All cabins feature private facilities, two lower berths, a desk and large closets. See Deckplan

Like her sister Origo, she is a marvelous piece of maritime history with beautiful brass details and oregon pine decks and is loved by many. With a party of 12 on board it is like traveling on a private yacht and it offers an entirely different experience and perspective to that of a larger and more conventional vessel. The M/S Stockholm is also ideal for private parties who wish to explore the Spitsbergen archipelago. See Deckplan
