A trip to Spitzbergen involves cruising in a ship. The larger the ship the potentially more comfortable. The smaller the ship the more intimate. The MV Prof. Multanovskiy could take 50 passenger; in fact there were only about half that number present for our voyage.Naturally the polar bear was special.
