The most luxurious ship ever built for Russian rivers, MS AMAKATARINA is the perfect showcase for the legendary and historic waterways of Russia. Cruise between Moscow and St. Petersburg in the most modern, comfortable and elegant vessel ever to sail the Volga-Baltic waterways and beyond. Completely renovated and reconstructed from bare steel by AMAWATERWAYS in 2010, the ship is unequaled in terms of spaciousness, accommodation levels and enticing public areas.
As one example of how AMAKATARINA excels in the market, one need only consider passenger staterooms. An incredible 24,025 square foot of space is dedicated to passenger staterooms. The ship will carry 212 guests in 106 staterooms, seventy-six of which feature balconies. By way of comparison, other recently-renovated vessels in Russia feature the same number of cabins but only 16,793 square feet of space dedicated to the accommodations. That means that on average, Amakatarina's staterooms are 43% larger than those of the competition.
Choose from an incredible array of 10 stateroom categories, including four magnificent suite categories. All staterooms feature a bathroom with a separate shower area, which is unusual for Russian ships. The top stateroom category, Imperial Suite, features an immense 432 sq. ft. of space. Enjoy your evenings in the beautiful Panorama Lounge or have a drink in the intimate Bar/Nightclub Alternative Restaurant. Enjoy a concert or lecture in the Conference Hall. Unwind in the Sauna or relax in the Solarium. Dine each evening in the lovely main Restaurant, lined with panoramic windows. Other amenities on board AMAKATARINA include an elevator, gift shop and infirmary.
