M/V Professor Molchanov
Built in 1983 in Finland, the M/V Professor Molchanov is a modern and comfortable oceanographic research vessel which has been converted for passenger use. With an ice-strengthened hull and passive stabilisers it is able to smoothly navigate scenic areas where many other vessels cannot, making it ideally suited for expedition cruising.
