Overview
Built as a Soviet trans-Atlantic liner in 1965, the Marco Polo has undergone several renovations and renamings. The decor on the ship is generally classy and understated with wide teak decks, several tastefully decorated bars and lounges, and a library. Cabins are comfortable and simply appointed with one downside, thin walls make it easy to hear neighboring rooms and TVs.
