Additional Information
This journey combines the raw power of the ship with the use of helicopter
flights for aerial viewing. Crushing through pack ice that is metres thick,
the 'Victory' can sail in conditions that would defeat any other ship.
Reaching the ‘top of the world’, the experience of standing where all
directions are south, is incomparable. There will be time to perform the
shortest possible circumnavigation of the globe before heading south to
explore the remote Franz Josef Land. With its massive flat-topped islands and
steep basalt cliffs, this archipelago is a birdwatcher's paradise. This is
quite simply a voyage without comparison.
