Lyubov Orlova

Expedition Ship

Built in the former republic of Yugoslavia in 1976, this 90-metre ice-strengthened vessel carries 110 passengers. And, like some elegant ladies of a certain age, Lyubov Orlova needed some cosmetic changes. Recently completed, we are pleased to announce that the surgery was a success. The Forward Lounge has a new ceiling, new lights and wallpaper. We've changed fabrics and furnishings, the lounge now has the latest audio-visual equipment and a new bar. The corridors have been re- carpeted. Beds have been widened.
