Kapitan Dranitsyn

While the vessel, “Kapitan Dranitsyn”, may be unfamiliar to many adventurers, it is virtually identical to her sister ship, the famous Kapitan Khlebnikov.

The proposed itinerary is Kirkenes (Norway) – Murmansk (Russia) – Franz Josef Land – Murmansk (Russia) – Kirkenes (Norway) – between July 17-27, 2011.
