Once a journey is designed, equipped and put in process,

a new factor enters and takes over.

A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from

all other journeys.

It has personality, temperament, individuality,

uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself;

no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing and

coercion are fruitless.

We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip;

a trip takes us.

Our Ship

 

Ship Information

Akademik Sergey Vavilov

This specially designed scientific research vessel was built in Finland in 1988 for the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Oceanology. The ship was named after Professor Sergey Vavilov, a nuclear physicist with the Russian Academy of Sciences, who went on to head a research institute in St Petersburg. The Akademik Sergey Vavilov was specifically designed and built to receive long distance submarine acoustics, and is capable of “silent ship” operation to assist acoustic research. The Akademik Sergey Vavilov often performs research in tandem with an identical sister ship, the Akademik Ioffe. The Akademik Sergey Vavilov is now owned and run by the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, which is the primary oceanographic research institution in Russia.
