New Russian cruise venture starts operating 7-night Baltic cruises |
||||||||||||||||
S-Continental, a new cruise venture based in St. Petersburg, has
started operating 7-night Baltic cruises targeting the Russian market. The
12,798 gross ton SC Atlantic sailed on its first cruise to Helsinki, Stockholm
and Tallinn from St . Petersburg on 9 July – the first cruise had been sold out.
 SC
Atlantic was built in Poland as Konstantin Chernenko in 1986 as member of a long
series of largely similar vessels to the Soviet Union. It is 139 metres long,
has a beam of 21 metres and it traded as Russ prior to a refit to take up its
present cruise role. Pictures on the company’s website suggest that the vessel has been upgraded to quite a high standard, although the design of the interiors differs markedly from what is customary in the west. The ship now only takes 236 passengers, a marked reduction from 409 from when built. Passenger facilities include a restaurant with VIP zone, six bars, a night club, karaoke club, casino, boutique, sauna, entertainment lounge and a swimming pool on deck. The currencies used on board are the US dollar, the euro and the rouble. |
