ABOUT THE 50 YEARS OF VICTORY Twenty years in the making, 50 Years of Victory is the first Arktika-class icebreaker to have a spoon-shaped bow. Your ship, designed with a stainless-steel ice belt 18 feet (5 meters) wide, breaks through ice up to 9.2 feet (2.5 meters) thick! This is the world’s largest, most-powerful icebreaker. Complete with a helicopter for shore excursions, Victory is a ship unlike any other, with the ability to go where other ships cannot. Enjoy your time on board by chatting over cocktails at the bar, swimming in the pool or checking out the gym, library and saunas. All cabins have exterior views and private facilities.
