Professor Molchanov: Our Sailing Hotel

On our cruise from Scotland to Svalbard we stayed on the Professor Molchanov, a former Russian research vessel. It is a small ship that can only serve some sixty or so passengers. They have different size cabins with and without private bathrooms.

We chose the least expensive version and stayed in a triple non private cabin, which was small, but absolutely sufficient, since we spent all of our time on deck or on the bridge anyway!

The three showers on our level were very clean, very hot and very lovely and it never happened to me that all of them were occupied at the same time, so I never had to wait when wanting to take a shower!

The food was excellent (see my restaurant tip for this), the staff was not only nice, but extremely knowledeable and helpful and the (Russian) crew were great as well!

Do read their website, it really describes the ship very well!

If I had the chance I would go right back to this fabulous place!!!
