MS
AmaKatarina was completely rebuilt and refurbished in
2011, enhancing passenger comfort and convenience. As the largest
vessel sailing on the mighty Volga River, there is no better way to
cruise through Russia. The ship offers state-of-the-art public
rooms and elegant cabins, which, combined with included excursions,
quality cuisine and wine with dinner, will make your cruise
memorable.
Cabins
The cabins are larger than rivals sailing along the Volga; they
have either twin or double beds, and en suite facilities with
shower and W.C. Upgrades and cabins with balconies are available at
a supplement.
Public Rooms & Facilities
Split over four decks MS AmaKatarina's facilities include
two restaurants and a bar. You can enjoy the views from the
Panorama Lounge or learn more about the area from one of the
lecturers in the Conference Hall. The ship's reception, infirmary
and gift shop ensure all your needs are met on board. The ship also
boasts a lift between some decks.
Local Culture
A programme of on-board lectures, language classes, themed
dinners, cookery demonstrations and music performances will take
place to give you an insight into Russia's history and
culture.
Dining
Dining on board is a truly superb experience. The team of on-board
chefs create a superb and varied menu every day, including
wonderful soups, fresh produce, high quality meats, fresh fish and
seafood.
Start your day with a lavish breakfast buffet. Choose from a rich
assortment of breads, croissants and pastries, a variety of fresh
fruit, cereals, and a selection of traditional breakfast items.
Both lunch and dinner offer a superb choice of freshly prepared
dishes, served at your seat over three or more courses and
complemented by a selection of teas and special coffees. Lunch
includes hot or cold appetizers, homemade soups, a selection of
main courses and desserts. In the evening you will enjoy an elegant
dinner or a traditional theme night with a feast of regional
specialities. Enjoy delicious cuisine and complimentary
free-flowing wines with dinner every evening.
