We have guests who are on their way to Kaliningrad - Petr I

Due to the strong wind, we have guests who are on their way to Kaliningrad. 

The crew of "Petr I" was first who have achieved a new world record. "Petr I" has become the first sailing ship to pass through the Northeast and Northwest Passages in a single season, with no ice-breaker assistance.

The 60ft yacht Petr I sailed around the Arctic after setting off on 4 June 2010 from St Petersburg. It took a month to sail around Scandanavia to get to the Russian port Murmansk. The yacht left Murmansk on 16 July heading east along with northern Russia.

On 20 September 2010 – after 119 days at sea – "Petr I" crossed the symbolic Northwest Passage entry line into Lancaster Sound. The crew covered 9023 nautical miles on the voyage. Approximately 3000 of those were sailed in harsh ice conditions.
