More recently it seemed to me that I, a professional travel journalist and a passionate traveler, had already tried all possible types of tourism. Even the collection of a suitcase has long become an ordinary process, and I never take guidebooks at all: what did I see there or what I won't figure it out on the spot? And suddenly the fate of me reduced me with people who are engaged in expeditionary cruises! I caught fire at the same second.

Cruise these trips are called because all movements occur on the ship by sea or the ocean. But this ship is not a cruise ship With pools and discos, and the real scientific bar of Soviet production is "Professor Chrome". On it, a group of enthusiasts of enthusiasts do unique routes by difficult to accessible places, where a person's feet often did not go. IN summer season They swim around Far East, Kamchatka, Chukotka and smoked. In winter, move in southern hemisphere.

Ship "Professor Chromov" // Maria Puzankova, Travel.Ru

I was lucky to take part in the expedition on Okhotsk Sea. - One of the least studied in the world and almost inaccessible for the most part of the coast. There was no doubt that I want to visit these places. And now I can safely say that it was perhaps the most unique of my travels. But about everything in order: the path was long!

Sakhalin was from the starting point, for which the participants of the expedition arrived in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. He showed himself a clean and bright city, over which rises ski slope - Moreover, one of the largest I have seen in Russia. For South Sakhalinsk, it's nice to walk, look at the monument to Lenin on the Square of the same name, walk along his broad streets, which seem to know nothing about transport traffic jams. And since the city does not have to crawl and climb, in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - a lot of greens. Parks, gardens and flower beds are literally everywhere.

Whatever enough, but South Sakhalinsk is located far from the sea. To start swimming, you need to get to the port city of Korsakov. Slightly less than an hour, and you at the pier.

Welcome to Port of Korsakov // Maria Puzancova, Travel.Ru

It remains the most difficult and always difficult to predict: cross the barrier. Cruise organizers say that every time everything is different and in a new way. Among the passengers were mainly foreigners: New Zealanders, Australians, the British, French, Croatak with the Danish passport, the Hindu with British citizenship and many who else, as well as several Russians and one Ukrainian. And in our case, we first waited for something for quite a long time, and then then quickly went through the passage, found themselves to the pier and climbed the ship.

Things have already been laid out on the cabins!

Day 1. Acquaintance and briefing

Coordinates at 13:00 - 46º 37 N 142º 45 E

Pier in Korsakov was truly picturesque, like nature around. While the team was booked, the newly-made participants in the expedition were again on the decks, making dozens of photos.

The first lunch gave us to understand: With hunger we will not die. This is at least. I was preparing for relatively hiking conditions and was pleasantly surprised when everyone was interviewed before the trip, there is someone preferences for food. At the same time, I strongly apologized that they would not be able to provide vegan or kosher food. I ordered ordinary vegetarian - and was happy.

Exquisite food on board Spirit of Enderby // Maria Puzancova, Travel.Ru

And I did not expect to see on board the chef of 5-star Australian and New Zealand logs, which will prepare wonderful dishes, excellent both in appearance and taste. Yes, and every day was a choice. In general, it will not die with the hunger for sure. But how in 11 days the cruise does not gain extra kilograms - a big question and the personal matter of everyone.

Briefing // Maria Puzankova, Travel.Ru

Then there was our first briefing. Passengers in great excitement descended into the lecture room. Where we were told how to go swimming. What plans plans, and the team will do everything possible so that the program will be fulfilled as fully as possible, but it will not be superfluous that the gods of the seas and heavens here are cool more than ever, and everything depends on them.

Rescue Botik // Maria Puzancova, Travel.Ru

A significant part of the briefing is devoted to security. We were told how to use the savings, in which we will swim on the "zodiacs", and where to take a saving for salvation in the sea, if something terrible will happen to the ship. They told about sound signals, and to which rescue boat run, if a certain signal sounds.
