Anadyr Rendezvous
Sibling expedition vessels Spirit of Enderby (Professor Khromov) and Kapitan Khlebnikov created another spectacle in Anadyr Harbour today as Heritage Expeditions' final Wrangel Island voyage for the season came to an end and our 'Jewel of the Russian Far East' departed.
Following a ship change and downsizing from KK back onto our flagship, the Heritage Expedition team got Spirit of Enderby prepped, shipshape and ready for expeditioners embarking our final Russian Far East voyage of the season.
In Anadyr bay our voyagers were welcomed by the shining white Beluga whales and Largha seals which swam alongside our ferry as we made our way out to Spirit of Enderby - our ship for the next two weeks.
'Jewel of the Russian Far East' will see voyagers exploring the history and wildlife rich remote, untamed coastlines of Chukotka, Koryak and Kamchatka via Egvekinot, Bukhta Gavrilla, Koryakskiy Reserve, Commander Islands and more as Spirit of Enderby set sail from Anadyr to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy.
