Katarina goes sailing on the Volga
MELBOURNE – After creating a fleet of eight European riverships, the APT-AmaWaterways partnership is turning its attention to Russia with the 212-passenger ms AmaKatarina scheduled to enter service in 2011.
It will be the most luxurious vessel sailing the Volga-Baltic Waterway, according to APT general manager marketing, Debra Fox.
“The vessel is being stripped entirely and converted from a 400-passenger vessel to a 212-passenger ship and brings our Russian cruise product up to the standards of our Europe product,†she said.
After AmaKatarina’s inaugural sailing on May 10, 2011, she will sail 14 11-night voyages for the 2011 season, between Moscow and St Petersburg.
The ship has 106 cabins, 76 of which have balconies. Passengers can choose from 10 cabin categories spanning four decks. This includes four different suite categories – ranging from 280 to 432 square feet.
All staterooms have a bathroom with a separate shower area.
At the end of their cruise, passengers can also choose to add a 15-day Trans-Siberian Adventure from Moscow to Vladivostok onboard the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express.
In Europe, this May, APT launches ms Amabella and in 2011 ms Amaverde will become the eighth APT-AmaWaterways vessel in the fleet.
