We were on the Vavilov in January of 2015 and it was fine. The problem was the food and education on our cruise with One Ocean to Antarctica. I would look elsewhere unless that changes and it is difficult to predict if it will.

We recently finished a 19 day/18 night trip with One Ocean on the Vavilov to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands. While the technical aspects of the trip were flawless, the education and food weren't good. Truly, the food was awful. The expeditions were handled quite well and the staff was excellent, but the biologists on the cruise weren't passionate or interested in teaching and weren't good teachers so that part was a major 'miss'.

Other aspects were really great, however, but not having good food and lacking a good educational component would have made me go with another company had I known in advance.
