Yamal
The Yamal is a nuclear icebreaker built in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1992 by Murmansk Shipping Company and is one of five ice-breakers in this class. The Yamal is a powerful and sophisticated icebreaker which has sailed to extremely remote corners of the globe with adventurous travelers since 1993. The Yamal accommodates 100 guests in 50 first class outside cabins and suites with desks and ample storage space. Public areas include a lounge and bar, small library, infirmary (there is a doctor on board) and a sauna. Views are excellent from the large, open decks and the navigation bridge, where we are almost always welcome. The European chefs produce a varied menu and the comfortable bar is stocked with a good selection of wine. The ship is staffed by Russian officers and crew, all highly experienced in ice navigation. The atmosphere aboard is relaxed and informal, more like a private expedition than a cruise.
