Overview:
The Polar Pioneer was built in Finland in 1985 as an ice-strengthened
research ship. For many years, she plied the treacherous
waters of the USSR's northern coast. In 2000, she was refurbished
in St Petersburg to provide comfortable accommodation for
54 passengers. This class of vessel has a fine reputation
for polar expedition cruising, due to its strength, maneuverability
and small number of cabins. All cabins have outside portholes,
as well as ample storage space.

a desk, washbasin, storage area, and a window. Showers and
