What is the name of the ship? Is there any information about the ship?

The boat names are Ultramarine and Ocean Explorer. You can check out the boat details and features in our Intrepid website.

Does it mean that in this case May 31 would be that first day? And the group will leave for Longyearbyen on June 1?

Can I reserve a single occupancy room on the ship for the duration of the cruise? How much extra would it cost?

Outstanding tour, with excellent guide, fascinating recent history of these countries which have endured so much. I was blown away by the depth of spontaneous support for Ukraine 🇺🇦. Particularly special was the usual Intrepid mix of nationalities, interacting with the locals, and the use of public transport. The inclusion of cycling on the spit opposite Kaliningrad, and kayaking in a Lithuanian national park, was spot on… with choices for a disparate group. Thoroughly enjoyable, and I learned a great deal as well!Show more
