Top of the world Product Description

Find yourself on the top of the world, cross the Arctic Ocean on the most powerful nuclear icebreaker in the world, explore the historic sites on Franz Josef Land, ride Zodiacs, and maybe see some polar bears and walruses. Few people can say they have traveled so far! Become one of travelers who have reached the North Pole. Cruise to the North Pole in 2023You will travel on a nuclear icebreaker capable of overcoming the age-old ice. You will meet lazy walruses, and polar bears will even come up to the ship board. On the zodiac boats you will go to the rocky shores inhabited by great birds' colonies. Also you will travel to Franz Josef Land, the most part of which is still unexplored, and see the places of Arctic expeditions. If you want — you could swim in the Arctic ocean or make a balloon flight over it. You will be accompanied by an experienced photographer in this journey. He will share his knowledge during lectures on board, as well as during landings. Reservation for expedition cruises starts 1.5 years before departure. As a rule, six months before the tour only a small number of cabins remain on sale, and a couple of months before departure they may not be available at all. If you want to get to the North pole, do not postpone the decision for a long time.

Top of the world detailed program

Sequence	Place/Destanation	Description	Interests
Murmansk, Russia	Day 1	1 day	Upon your arrival at the airport we provide a transfer to your hotel in the city center. Today you will be able to explore Murmansk. It is the world's largest city, located behind the Arctic circle.
Embarkation in Murmansk	Day 2	1 day	Today we provide a group transfer to the port, where we welcome you aboard the nuclear-powered icebreaker "50 Years of Victory". You will explore the ship and get orientated as we slip our moorings and sail north out of Kola Bay.
The Arctic ocean	Day 3-6	4 days	On the way to the North pole you will have the most interesting programs. Under favorable weather conditions, you will have landings on the ice and helicopter flights over the Arctic Islands. Polar experts will tell you about the animal world of the Arctic. If desired, you can visit the captain's bridge or the engine room — the heart of the icebreaker. As well as a swimming pool, gym or sauna. As we make our way across the ice cap, you witness firsthand the ship’s awesome power as massive ice blocks give way under the enormous bulk of the spoon-shaped bow. The sensation of being on deck at this time is surreal and unforgettable.
The North Pole	Day 7	1 day	Welcome to the geographic North Pole! All meridians are met at this point. After carefully navigating to 90 degrees North, we ceremoniously drop the anchor on a sturdy stretch of ice and disembark onto the frozen sea. Now is the time to experience the long-anticipated thrill of standing at the top of the world. You are also treated to a barbeque meal on the ice. You may even have the chance to take a plunge into the icy water!
Franz Josef Land	Day 8-10	3 days	These days you will explore one of the most remote regions of the Arctic — the Franz Josef land. Polar bears and other quintessential High Arctic wildlife — such as walruses and some rare whale species — can be spotted anytime, anywhere in and around Franz Josef Land. Scree slopes and cliffs around the islands host enormous nesting colonies of migratory seabirds such as guillemots, dovekies, and ivory gulls. We take advantage of 24-hour daylight to exploit every opportunity for wildlife viewing and excursions via Zodiac and helicopter. Franz Josef Land also offers visitors the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of famous polar explorers at well-preserved historical sites. The journals of explorers such as Julius von Payer, Benjamin Leigh Smith, Frederick George Jackson, and Fridtjof Nansen come alive at Cape Norway, Cape Flora, Eira Harbour, and Cape Tegetthoff. Memorials, monuments, crosses, and the remains of dwellings are testimony to incredible historical events that are further illuminated by our expert lecturers. Tikhaya Bay is currently a Russian Arctic National Park ranger station occupying Soviet-era research buildings and was also a major base for polar expeditions. You can send your friends a postcard from the northernmost post office in the world, located here.
The Barents Sea	Day 11-12	2 days	The icebreaker is heading for Murmansk. After our amazing time in Franz Josef Land we cross back south through the bountiful waters of the Barents Sea. During the final photo presentation you will be able to relive the most impressive moments of the journey. And you are invited to dinner with the captain! You may also take advantage of onboard facilities and amenities such as a polar library, volleyball court, gym, two saunas, a warm seawater pool, gift shop, and massage treatments. Seabird viewing and whale sightings can be enjoyed from panoramic open decks as well as exterior stateroom windows.
Disembarkation in Murmansk	Day 13	1 day	Our once-in-a-lifetime journey comes to an end. After breakfast we say farewell in Murmansk. We provide you with a transfer to the airport for your flight home. Our congratulations! Now you are one of the few travelers who have visited the top of the planet.

6Is it possible to go to the adventure with childrens?

Each adventure in the description contains information about the participant in the adventure and their number, the number of guests, and the minimum age of the participants. If your loved ones have children and several children, we recommend that you pay attention to the "Family" category - these certificates are just for such cases.

Most of the adventures are concentrated in Europe, but there are also exclusive adventures in places that attract travelers from all over the world. We deliver certificates throughout Europe, but in the case of electronic certificates, the whole world is not enough!

8Will it be more expensive than if you contact adventure directly?

Gift vouchers include adventures that are slightly more expensive or less expensive when booked directly. In general, it turns out about the same.

According to the public offer, we conclude an agreement with each of our clients, within the framework of which our obligations must be fulfilled on time and in the full stated amount. We have big plans for the future and we absolutely do not want to collect negative reviews about us.

11What if I want to buy a certificate for myself?

If you have already decided on the adventure and are considering buying a certificate for yourself, then honestly, this is not the best solution. If so, we recommend booking the adventure directly to ensure that your preferred dates are available. The essence of our service is that you give a choice: let the recipient himself go through these pleasant chores of choosing the most interesting adventure and go there at a convenient time for him. Perhaps together with you :)
