Introduction.


The Dranitsyn is a powerful conventional propelled icebreaker, constructed in 1982 at shipyard Wartsila, Finland. Dranitsyn is intended to work in the conditions of Northern Sea Route and the Baltic Sea. Since 1993 this icebreaker is used for the cruises to the most remote places of our planet. She was modified and achieved the class of a passenger vessel in addition to all the international certificates. Dranitsyn has 49 comfortable cabins for 100 passengers. All the cabins have: big shower rooms, a desk and two beds. Public places include spacious drawing rooms, bars, heated swimming pool, gym and sauna.
