The visit of 22,080 GT cruise liner MS Marco Polo had not been planned at Lloyd Werft. The need for an inspection of her crankshaft plant prompted the 22,080 GT cruise liner MS “Marco Polo” to make an unexpected stop in Lloyd Werft’s small Kaiserdock before the start of her winter season.
The 176.28 m long cruise ship is better known at the yard as the “Alexander Pushkin”. She is one of a series of ships built in the 1960s for the former Soviet Union. The current “Marco Polo”, which sails for Greece’s Global Cruise Line, was built in 1965 at the Mathias Thesen Shipyard in Wismar. She left Lloyd Werft at the weekend.
