Countries Visited: Finland, Russia (Europe)
Probably the ultimate Polar voyage: sail to 90 degrees north aboard the world's largest nuclear-powered icebreaker.
With only two departures this year and only one ship capable of offering this itinerary, reaching the North Pole, the top of the world, aboard the '50 Years of Victory' is a rewarding and rare expedition. Crushing through ice that is metres thick, the 'Victory' can sail in conditions that would defeat any other ship. The expedition combines the raw power of the ship with the use of helicopter flights for aerial viewing and Zodiac landings for more intimate wildlife encounters. In Franz Josef Land discover amazing Polar bears and a birdwatcher's paradise. This is quite simply a voyage without comparison.
What makes this trip responsible?
We take extremely seriously our responsibility to minimise our impact on these pristine areas. Exodus is an Associate Member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and has agreed to abide by one of the tourism world's most conscientious codes of conduct. Quark Expeditions, our ship operator, is also a member of the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO), which covers operations in Spitsbergen.
However, perhaps the single most important thing any polar travel company can do, is educate their clients to travel sensitively and compassionately. Our expedition team on each ship takes this part of their role very seriously, and looks forward to explaining how everyone can play their part.
