Named after one of Russia’s most famous 20th century poets, Marina Svetaeva was built in 1989 in Poland. Impressively stable at sea, Svetaeva is a robust vessel yet still small enough to explore places beyond the reach of the bigger ships. The ship is characterised by spacious cabins and large public spaces, including the bridge and outer decks, library and bar. A large presentation room provides the perfect space for passengers and crew to wind down and socialise following dinner in the well-appointed dining rooms.
