Aleksey Maryshev
The Aleksey Maryshev is a comfortable and modern research vessel, sister ship to the 'Grigory Mikheev'. She belongs to the Hydro-graphic Institute in St. Petersburg and was built in Finland in 1990. She was designed as an ice-strengthened vessel and converted in the Netherlands for passenger use, making her ideally suited for expedition cruising. The vessel is 66 metres (210 feet) long, with a breadth of 12.8 metres (42 feet), a draft of approximately 3.5 metres (12 feet) and a displacement of 2000 tonnes. She has two powerful engines that allow a speed of up to 14 knots. The Aleksey Maryshev has a large bridge and good open deck-viewing areas. She carries a full complement of Zodiac crafts, excellent for landings and wildlife viewing opportunities, in otherwise inaccessible areas. Excellent cuisine prepared by international chefs is served in the dining room, which also serves as the lecture room. Other public areas include a lounge and bar, a small library, an infirmary and a sauna. The vessel's service personnel include an international chef, a hotel manager and an enthusiastic Russian crew of approximately 20, all highly experienced in ice navigation. Russian captains are recognised experts in polar navigation. All our international expedition leaders and lecturers are highly knowledgeable, helpful and dedicated to the protection of the environment.
