History
The ship with serial number 406 was built at the Yugoslav shipyard Titovo Brodogradiliste in the Croatian Kraljevice and was handed over to the Soviet customer on December 20, 1974. On December 24, the ship sailed from Kraljevice to Murmansk. The vessel’s original owner was the Murmansk Shipping Company of the USSR MMF , which was transformed in 1992 into the Murmansk Shipping Company. In 1975, the ship served the Murmansk- Arkhangelsk line and, after a warranty inspection in Yugoslavia in 1976, returned to this line again. In 1977, she cruised the Baltic Sea and transported between Tallinn and Helsinki . In the summer of 1978 she again cruised the Baltic Sea. From February to April 1979, Maria Ermolova again underwent a warranty inspection in Kraljevice. In the Soviet period, the ship made not only cruises in coastal seas, but also transported contingents of Soviet military specialists to Cuba and vice versa. [6] After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ship changed its home port to Novorossiysk , from where it went to the southern latitudes and made 8 flights to Antarctica with foreign tourists, [7] which turned out to be a more serious task for the ship than shopping tours to Turkish Istanbul , and 2007 went to the Caspian Sea in Astrakhan , where it is operated under the Caspian Cruise Line IC program. The first flight in the Caspian Sea on the route Aktau - Baku - Makhachkala- Astrakhan-Aktau took place on October 5-11, 2007. [eight]
