Cruise to the North Pole - While cruising in the comfort and security afforded by the 75,000 HP, nuclear powered, Russian icebraker
Yamal, you'll readily burst through ice floes, pressure ridges, and hummocks up to 16' thick.
You'll be exploring on one of the very few vessels with an ability to traverse the challanging Arctic Basin,
where the ever-changing panorama of wind-polished ice, narrow channels of dark-green water
are certain to mesmerize you.
Not only is the Yamal an incredibly rugged vessel it is also very sophisicated
technologically, and it offers thoroughly comfortable accommodations, outstanding amenities
and excellent cuisine.
Throughout your Arctic cruise, both the Yamal's helicopter and Zodiac landing craft will
be available to expand the breadth of your exploration. Furthermore, an outstanding team of
onboard lecturers and naturalists will enhance your appreciation of the historical and
natural phenomena you encounter. |

Around-the-World with the French Line.
From glorious transatlatic liners to a global fleet of containerships. CMA CGM, the French Line, today operates about two dozen services. Some of them continue to maintain the
line’s long passenger tradition by offering accomodations to those who wish to travel the
world in a relaxing, informal way.
The Suez and Panama Canals, the Straits of Gibraltar,
leisurely ocean crossings and other magical voyages have fascinated seafarers for generations.
And you too can experience the legend! Take the opportunity to enjoy the best and most beautiful
of what the sea has to offer.
Several new ships have been included in the fleet recently, and for the first time we
have an opportunity to offer you French Line freighter departures from the US east and east coasts.

Tramp Voyages -
Unlike regular freighters which have relatively predictable and constant itineraries,
a fleet of German tramp steamers work from one contract to another, changing voyages and serving all kinds of different trades.
They are mainly bulkcarriers and, depending on the size of the vessel, are classified as Handy or Seaway (smallest),
Panamax and Cape (largest); the names indicating the type of routes they are most likely to travel.
Please visit
Maris Freighter Cruises for daily schedules and fares on these as well as on all other passenger-carrying freighters. |
