This liner will begin sailing in Russian waters next year, carrying travelers to the Kuril Islands and Wrangel Island. 🚢❄️
SH Minerva is a next-generation expedition vessel with an enhanced polar class. And it was built by… our own Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Finance!
Well, technically, Minerva was constructed by Europeans at a shipyard in Helsinki — but the project was fully financed by the Russian State Transport Leasing Company.
Launched in 2021, the vessel spent a season in Antarctica and was later laid up due to anti-Russian sanctions. This past summer, all issues were resolved, and now Minerva is ready to explore the Russian Far East.
On board you’ll find a five-star hotel:
— an open-deck pool 🏊♂️
— fine-dining restaurant 🍽️
— panoramic sauna with Arctic views ❄️🔥
— luxury suites 🛌
The price of an almost two-week cruise: 2 million rubles per person.
