Marina Svetaeva
Named for one of Russia’s most famous 20th century poets, Marina Svetaeva was built in 1989 in Poland’s famous Gdynia shipyards. Originally an ice strengthened passenger vessel, she spent many years plying the frozen waters of the Arctic and northern Pacific Oceans. She was refurbished in early 2005 to provide comfortable but not luxurious accommodations for 100 passengers and 41 Russian crew. A helideck was added so that 2 helicopters could provide the magical key to unlock the secrets of the more remote corners of the globe.
The ship is characterised by spacious cabins and large public spaces, including the bridge and outer decks, library and bar.

Impressively stable at sea, Svetaeva is a robust vessel yet still small enough to explore places beyond the reach of bigger ships.
The spacious bridge is always open to us and the decks are ideal for viewing. A large lecture room allows Aurora’s team of experienced naturalists, historians and special guest lecturers to share their knowledge with passengers. The chefs are European, and the dining room is attended by Russian stewardesses. A fleet of inflatable Zodiacs with outboard motors enable us to travel from ship to shore.
