Shipbuilders of the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in Nizhny Novgorod have launched the cruise ship "Nikolay Zharkov" of Project 00840 "Karelia". The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.
We expect that the ship will be commissioned before the end of the year, so that it can start operating on tourist routes next spring.
According to Manturov, two more similar ships need to be handed over to the customer within 3 years. Thus, "Krasnoye Sormovo" will become a key shipyard where modern mixed "river-sea" cruise liners are built.
"Nikolay Zharkov" is designed for 180 passengers. The ship is equipped with 30 "Standard" cabins, 1 cabin for people with disabilities, 44 "Standard" cabins with a balcony; 10 "Deluxe" cabins and 2 "Grand Suite" cabins. On board the ship there is a heated pool, SPA area, steam room and a restaurant with panoramic glazing.
Characteristics of Project 00840 vessels:
- Length — 131 m
- Width — 13.8 m
- Draft — 2.9 m
