I think we are talking about Explorer and she was built in 1969 in Nystad Finland as an expedition cruse ship. She was designed for ice and was rated as such. She has nothing to do with the USSR and isn’t a converted ice breaker. She is owned by Lars-Eric Lindblad and he is the one who started expedition cruising on small ships and this is the first example of the class.
All the best,
