MURMANSK, July 10 (RIA Novosti) - More than 120 tourists set sail Friday on an Arctic cruise on board the world's largest nuclear-powered icebreaker, a spokesman for Russia's Atomflot company said.

The 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years Since Victory) had more than 120 tourists from Europe and the Americas onboard when it left the port of Murmansk in northern Russia for Franz Josef Land, Vladimir Blinov told RIA Novosti.

"The tourists will visit the Franz Josef Land archipelago and see walruses, seals and polar bears in their natural habitat," he said.

"The most daring travelers will be able to bathe in the Arctic Ocean," he added.

Each tourist paid about $23,000 for the 12-day Arctic tour.
