MS “General Lavrinenkov” named after famous Soviet air force hero of the WWII General Vladimir Lavrinenkov was built in 1990 in Germany, refurbished in 2016. The ship can accommodate up to 182 passengers and can be compared to a 4* hotel.
The ship was built in 1990 for the USSR / Russian state-owned company "Volga-Donskoe Retschnoje Parochodstwo" based in Rostov-on-Don. Currently, the vessel is owned by the Russian river cruise shipping company Doninturflot and operated by its subsidiary company Orthodox Cruises.
The ship is named after General Vladimir Lavrinenkov (1919-1988), an Air Force hero of WW2 (1939-1945). Initially, the ship's passenger capacity was 212, but following the 2016 refurbishment, its capacity was reduced to 184.
