Antarctica - Expedition Cruises
The M/V Professor Multanovskiy is a modern and comfortable oceanographic research vessel. Built in 1983 in Finland it was designed as an ice-strengthened vessel, and is now under long-term contract by Oceanwide Expeditions.The vessel has been converted for passenger use and is ideally suited for Expedition Cruises to Antarctica and the Arctic region. It has a good anti-roll system, a range of 70 days independent operation and is ISM certified.
The vessel is strongly built of steel with an ice strengthened hull, perfect for polar seas. The ship features a large bridge (where passengers are almost always welcome) and good open deck-viewing areas. M/V Professor Multanovskiy also has a sister vessel M/V Professor Molchanov.
