The MS Tolstoy, named for Russia's most famous writer, is one of the best ships navigating our river routes. It was originally built to accommodate high-ranking government officials and foreign dignitaries, and still holds the same level of comfort. It has two restaurants and two bars, a beauty salon and a sauna, a reading room, an observation lounge, and a medical office. Dining rooms serve a variety of mouthwatering continental and regional specialties. The ship is air-conditioned and all cabins are equipped with full bathrooms, individual air conditioners, and refrigerators.
