Peregrine Adventures

The North Pole - 50 Years of Victory 2010 (15 Days)

You'll board the nuclear-powered icebreaker 50 Years of Victory in Murmansk, Russia with shore landings planned on Franz Josef Land and at 90°N, the top of the world. Sightseeing by helicopter gives us a magnificent aerial view of the icebreaker crushing through the Arctic Ocean pack ice.

Note: Weather and other mitigating factors may result in changes to our itinerary and alteration to certain shore excursions.
Please note this is particularly important with regard to the flying of the helicopters.
