Built in Finland in the late 1980s for the Russian Academy of Science, Akademik Sergey Vavilov’s original mission was to perform sensitive hydro-acoustic ocean research. She is the sister ship to Akademic Ioffe.
The Vavilov is exceptionally quick, quiet and stable. She is recognised as one of the finest expedition ships to ever sail the polar seas.
The observation lounge and bar on the top deck is a comfortable place to meet and mingle. External stabilizers and a built-in trimming system provide exceptional stability.
