Arctic Hotel "Kitovy Bereg" on the Shores of the Barents Sea
Located in the wild tundra on the Middle Peninsula, the "Kitovy Bereg" Arctic Hotel offers a four-star experience despite its remote setting—more than three hours from the nearest settlement. It’s a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the endless beauty of the sea. In summer, guests can explore the surrounding nature park by ATV, buggy, or jeep, and even watch whales in their natural habitat. In winter, they chase the northern lights and traverse the snowy tundra on snowmobiles. Year-round, visitors can savor Arctic delicacies at the local restaurant, relax in the cedar sauna or furako hot tubs, and enjoy water-based activities such as crab safaris, fishing trips, marine gastronomy tours, and scenic boat rides.
Expedition Cruises by Vasta Expeditions
There aren’t many places left on Earth that remain largely unexplored, and some of the most awe-inspiring can be found in the Far East. Since 2019, Vasta Expeditions has been introducing travelers to the untouched wonders of this region, including its volcanoes and glaciers. Over 700 adventurers have experienced this remote land aboard the research vessel Professor Khromov. Within a short timeframe, these expeditions allow guests to visit as many hard-to-reach locations as possible—accessible only by sea. Participants explore uninhabited islands, climb volcanic calderas, venture into wild bays teeming with orcas and whales, and discover why so many return to the Far East time and time again.
For the 2025 season, which runs from June to October, travelers can choose from 13 cruise itineraries spanning five destinations: Primorye, the Kuril Islands, Kamchatka, the Commander Islands, and Chukotka.
Park Hotel "Neralakh" on the Putorana Plateau
Located on the shores of the glacial Lake Lama, 120 kilometers from Norilsk, this park hotel is a gateway to a stunning natural paradise. Here, the taiga merges with the tundra, flat-topped mountains are etched with deep canyons, and thousands of waterfalls feed endless lakes. The minimalist Scandinavian architecture of the hotel seems to dissolve into the surrounding scenery. Guests can choose from 18 comfortable cottages with panoramic views of the plateau, enjoy northern cuisine at the restaurant, relax in the sauna, and take part in a variety of activities. Options include trekking trails for all skill levels, kayaking, paddleboarding, Zodiac boat rides, and helicopter tours.
