ABOUT

The Kuril Islands beckon with their contrasts. Volcanic snow caps are followed by the thermal energy of hot springs, and emerald glades of elfin are followed by rocky lifeless ridges.

The Kuril Islands Ski Tour programme will present an unusual opportunity not only to see the islands from the water, but also to make ascents and descents up and down the snow-capped volcanoes.

Weather is the main factor in building a route in this region. The order of visits to certain islands and bays is decided by the crew directly on board, based on the actual weather conditions.

What to expect from the journey:

• Daily ski tour programme with breathing volcanoes and hot springs, black and white basalt rocks.

• A 30-meter expedition vessel with everything for recreation on board: gear for sea and river fishing, Zodiac motorboats for entering rivers and landing on islands.

• Comfortable accommodation in cosy cabins intended for 10 guests, hot showers and a Finnish sauna.

• Islands that are difficult to access and as far away from the Mainland as possible.

• Rich wildlife: whales, killer whales, dolphins, flocks of birds, seals and sea lions.
