Murmansk, the largest city above the Arctic Circle, has many faces. First, it is the home port of all the existing nuclear ice-breakers and a living monument to the glorious history of Arctic exploration. Second, it is a land of the Saami people whose mysterious culture is immensely interesting to explore. Finally, Murmansk is one of the few places in the world where you can see the Northern Lights (also known as Aurora Borealis).

Summer twilight creates the perfect vibe for a truly special event — such as the late-night opening of the Yusupov Palace on the Moika River. On a musical promenade, the guests admired the luminous splendor of the living quarters and grand halls. They discovered what the harmonium and the mechanical organ sound like and learned the story of one of the most mysterious crimes in Russian history — the murder of Grigori Rasputin. The evening concluded in the Yusupov’ Home Theatre, where the guests took seats once reserved for the high society of Imperial St. Petersburg and enjoyed an exquisite ballet performance.

Top managers of a leading machinery-building company immersed themselves in the very essence of St. Petersburg. They set off on a cruise on the city’s largest charter yacht passing iconic sights from the Peter and Paul Fortress to the Lakhta Center, the northernmost skyscraper in the world. The atmosphere on board matched the splendor of the scenery: branded soft blankets, decorative cushions and floral scent diffusers. An elegantly served buffet added a special flavor to the journey while a charismatic host and DJ turned the cruise along the Neva into a vibrant party. At the end, each guest received a photo capturing one of the brightest moments of their trip to St. Petersburg.

Just one change to a familiar excursion ritual can make classic museums seem new and unexplored. The employees of a pharmaceutical company experienced this firsthand when, exclusively for them, the legendary Hermitage opened its doors after the official working hours. In the serene quiet of the night Winter Palace — free from crowds and bustle — the guests walked through the iconic halls, including the War Gallery of 1812, the Raphael Loggias, the Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck Rooms, and enjoyed a truly personal dialogue with the great works of art.

This trip was a mix of all the best things Karelia has to offer for MICE tourism: premium conference facilities, vibrant history and beauteous northern nature. Our guests stayed in modern cottages overlooking Lake Ladoga. The business program took place in a multifunctional hall with a panoramic view. The guests discovered the origins of the Karelian land at the Living History Museum where replicas of petroglyphs and Neolithic stone labyrinths are exhibited and in an underground museum situated inside a granite cliff. They explored the Valaam Monastery sacred landmarks. They tasted local cuisine in a restaurant overlooking a waterfall. Finally, on a boat trip through Ladoga, the guests were lucky enough to see Ladoga ringed seals that are not to be found anywhere else.

This very special dinner took our guests two centuries back in time, straight to the Imperial Russia. Imagine: you walk into a gorgeous candlelit room. You look at the tables and see sparkling white tablecloths, gold-rimmed china and the finest crystal glassware. Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by the sweet, fresh fragrance of flowers and beauteous uplifting music. Finally… enter the dishes!

Task: a series of digital quests in Saint Petersburg for the employees of various companies.
We developed unique street quests filled with out-of-the-box puzzles and riddles. Professional actors in themed costumes, colorful props and exciting interactive activities immersed the guests in the story and created the most fulfilling experience. Each quest, with its intriguing plot and extraordinary tasks, was a little work of art in its own right.

We designed a special 4-day-long itinerary that allowed our quests to explore the stunning natural beauty and vibrant culture of Murmansk, the largest city above the Arctic Circle. The guests visited a shaman’s dwelling, played traditional games and took part in a dog sledding race. In the night, they observed the breathtaking Northern Lights. In the village Teriberka, the guests sailed to the open sea and witnessed its greatest attractions: the colossal whale skeleton built for the award-winning Russian film Leviathan and the eerily captivating Graveyard of Ships. During the trip, the guests discovered the charms of the Northern Russia, tried local cuisine and enjoyed the fantastic combination of spectacular Arctic wilderness and luxurious comfort.

Inside the building, retro accessories and a welcoming area with champagne and exquisite refreshments immersed them in the swinging splendor of the 20s. The night culminated in colorful fireworks and the performance of the guest star — the famous Russian singer Stas Piekha.

We invited the top management of the leading Moscow MICE companies to Murmansk. To discover the enigmatic culture of the Northern people, our colleagues watched a shaman show and cooked traditional fish soup to the sound of tambourines and shaman singing. They learned fascinating facts about Murmansk whales from a local scientist. They made a tour of the world’s first nuclear icebreaker and met the ship’s captain. In stylish local restaurants, our colleagues tasted energizing bitters made from Arctic berries and signature northern delicacies — scallops and sea urchins. They took part in a culinary masterclass and tried to prepare Murmansk specialties themselves.

AgileDays FEST 2024, hosted by ScrumTrek, Russia’s leading company in the field of Agile project management, was supposed to be a grand unforgettable event for anyone who would decide to take part in it. And it truly was. We started with crafting a vibrant summer festival program, both educative and entertaining. Then we brought it to life: we equipped the venue from scratch, put together a cozy chill-out zone and, keeping Saint Petersburg’s climate in mind, found rainproof outdoor decorations. We topped it with a stylish photo zone (with a real bus!) and a variety of electrifying outdoor activities. Finally, we hired a top-class cover band to give the event a special memorable vibe.

Is there a better way to break away from the job routine and create unique memories with your colleagues than a boat race in the beautiful Baltic Sea? The employees of the Sovcombank have found out the answer first-hand. We organized a series of sailing regattas where the guests obtained hands-on experience in yachting under the supervision of a professional instructor. The events culminated in an exquisite sea-themed buffet where the guests could share their impressions and joy with each other to reinforce the exciting bonds and forge new connections.

Task: a business conference at the golf course and a golf tournament for a leading IT company and its partners.

A golf course is not the first thing you would think of when choosing a venue for a conference but with a carefully crafted concept and skillful management, it works like magic and offers the guests a fresh perspective. For the formal side of the event, we equipped the pavilion, provided technical facilities and organized coffee breaks and buffet. The golf tournament after the business part served to reinforce professional connections with emotional bonds. We topped the program with concert and dinner. For the former, we chose the brightest performers and a charming presenter and for the latter, we developed a special menu.

With this program, we took our guests to the heart of the Arctic to offer them all its wonders: breathtaking beauty of the northern wilderness, exquisite traditional cuisine and glorious history of the Soviet Arctic exploration. For the cultural part, the guests tried playing folk instruments, rushed through the snow on a dog sleigh and dined on seafood on the ocean shore. Have they fulfilled the dream of every traveler coming to the northernmost region of the Earth and watched the heavenly spectacle of the Northern Lights? The answer is in the pictures.

Every minute spent in the Northern Russia in the summer is a little miracle: captivating scenery, mysterious magic of the midnight sun and fascinating northern wildlife. A trip to this land is a real fairytale and we took our guests straight into it. They conquered vast open spaces of tundra on a Jeep ride, stopped to dine on wild-caught seafood, went fishing (what a huge catch it was!) and took saunas at the edge of the Earth. All of that –with stunning views everywhere around them!

During the trip to Karelia, they enjoyed exciting off-roading and delicious specialties served in the best restaurants. To gain a deep insight into the local culture, they took part in a traditional meal, tried baking a traditional pastry called “kalitka” and listened to folk songs sung by a native Karelian. To further extend their experience, the guests set off on a voyage in time: they took a ride on a retro train recreating the interiors of the imperial epoch and tasted traditional pies and bitters.
