Lyubov Orlova
Overview
In the fall of 2006, the spacious, ice-strengthened Lyubov Orlova underwent
extensive renovations to the forward lounge, dining room and cabins.
Her spacious dining room with unreserved seating features a buffet-style
breakfast with table service, table-service lunch and dinner with
main course choices from changing daily menu. Lectures take place
in the newly-renovated presentation room while the lounge and bar
are open late afternoon and evening offering a wide selection of
wines and spirits; coffee and tea are available all day.
The majority of shore landings are undertaken using Zodiacs. Zodiac
embarkations involve descending gangway stairs with double handrails
and stepping into the Zodiac from a small platform at water level (assistance
is provided).
Our travelling style is casual, with open dining room seating and no
formal dress requirements. Woolly sweaters, rubber boots and a sense
of adventure are the only necessities! Our open-bridge policy offers
a superb view for birding or wildlife sighting and a chance to interact
with the crew.
