Marco Polo
Originally built in the former GDR as a trans-Atlantic liner for the Soviet Union's Leningrad - Montreal service, this classic ship was acquired by Orient Lines in 1991 and completely rebuilt as a long-distance cruise liner. Marco Polo features an ice-hardened hull and is deployed on "exotic" itineraries including Antarctica.
