Named after the famous author Leo Tolstoy, this unique ship is the most luxurious and comfortable cruise ship ever built for Russian rivers. Constructed in Austria using high quality materials and at a much higher cost than other ships, the Tolstoy was designed for high ranking Kremlin officials and to host foreign dignitaries.

Today, she is still one of the top ships in Russia, with luxurious decor, large, well-appointed cabins, elegant public areas and wide circular stairs. The Tolstoy accommodates 160 guests, versus 200 - 300 on other ships of similar size.

These vessels set new standards in European river cruising and offer a number of features, which no other European river cruise ship can match. The Tolstoy carries 160 passengers in unequaled luxury, comfort and style and is staffed by a highly-trained professional crew, with an ongoing emphasis on personal service.
