Journey to the North Pole in an Icebreaking Ship!
The Yamal and her sister ship, Sovietskiy Soyuz can generate 75,000 horsepower and stay at sea for up to 4 years, travelling through pack ice at up to 12 knots. You will travel aboard one of these incredible vessels enjoying excellent food and a comfortable cabin with private facilities. The ship will plough due north through the high Arctic pack ice to the Pole itself, 90 degrees north. Stand on the ice at the top of the world and, for the very brave, join the North Pole Swimming Club!

Agenda
Your trip starts with the voyage from Helsinki to the Pole. You will spend approximately seven days cruising to your destination enjoying spectacular views of the tundra and wildlife. On arrival at the Pole itself, there will be an opportunity to stop, take photographs and savour the moment (and even have a quick swim). Your return journey gives the opportunity for bird and whale watching in the stunning Franz Joseph land before docking back in Helsinki.

My wife and I took the plunge and booked your 3 week Arctic Ice Breakers 2 person holiday to the North Pole. We'd been saving up for a once in a lifetime holiday for a while and researched into the North Pole and what it would be like to go there. It isn't a decision we took lightly to book through buyagift, we spoke to a salesperson who helped us make sure the package was what we wanted (sailing from Helsinki and travelling slowly to the Pole and then back again) and spoke to the same person several times through the booking process, which went smoothly.

This kind of trip isn't something you do on a whim so we wanted to make sure we booked with someone who knew exactly what was going on and would be able to help us along the way if we had queries. So far so good! It looks like it will be spectacular, we've been impressed with everything we've heard and seen, and as yet it's been quite easy to sort out. We can't wait for our trip of a lifetime to the Arctic!
