Dear friends,
The mighty Ob, Tom, and Irtysh rivers form Russia's longest river system. Taking a cruise on the comfortable ship "Northern Fairytale," you'll sail through the pristine Siberian expanses and experience the true grandeur of this mysterious region. Sales for the 2027 navigation season are now open!
3 sides of one journey:
History. Places that preserve the memory of the times when Tobolsk was the capital of the entire Siberian province. It was from here that vast territories stretching from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean were once governed.
Modern times. Novosibirsk, Russia's scientific capital, and the cities where "black gold" is mined. In less than a century, small settlements have transformed into major industrial and research centers renowned far beyond the country's borders.
People. Mesmerizing nature, places of power, and the way of life of indigenous peoples. Siberia is amazing: there is more untouched space here than developed land, and the locals have preserved their distinctive traditions.
Navigation routes 2027:
New for 2027! The "Immersion in Yamal" ethnographic cruise is a journey to where the land ends and the Arctic begins. Yamal, translated from the Nenets language, means "End of the Earth"; beyond that, there's only the Arctic Ocean.
"Immersion in Yamal" is a unique, one-of-a-kind ethnographic cruise expedition beyond the Arctic Circle to the Gulf of Ob. No glitz, no traditional tourist infrastructure, and no experience hosting large groups. Just real tundra, real people, and real life at the edge of the earth.
