Your adventure begins in Russia with a journey almost as impressive as the destination. Departing to the extreme north on-board 50 Years of Victory, one of the only ships powerful enough to break through the thick, multiyear pack ice, you arrive to a glass of champagne, celebrating your embarkation on this unique polar exploration.
