Peter Deilmann Cruises’ five-star MS Deutschland has announced a
diverse lineup of ocean cruises for 2006. The award-winning,
513-passenger luxury liner will start off 2006 by cruising to the
Indian Ocean and southern Africa, and she’ll end the year in the
Caribbean. In between, the Deutschland will visit ports of call on
the Arabian Peninsula, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Western Europe,
Norwegian Fjords, British Isles, Baltic and North Seas, South
Atlantic and Caribbean.
A Kenya to Dubai cruise on Feb. 14-Mar. 2 will be followed by a
Dubai to Aqaba (Jordan) cruise, Mar. 1-16. Egyptian and Turkish
ports are highlighted on a cruise to Istanbul, Mar. 16-30, which
also visits Yalta in the Ukraine, Limassol, Cyprus, and Varna,
Bulgaria.
The Deutschland will visit the Black Sea and Mediterranean in April
and May calling at ports in Eastern Europe, Croatia, Crete, Italy,
Monaco, France and Spain. On May 6, the Deutschland will depart
from Malaga, cross the Straits of Gibraltar to the Atlantic to call
at Tangier, Morocco; Lisbon, Portugal; La Coruna and Santander,
Spain, and La Palice and St. Malo in France, before arriving in
Hamburg on May 18. The next two itineraries will visit the
Norwegian Fjords and British Isles.
Two 13-night cruises take place in August. One sails the British
Isles from London to Dublin, Belfast and Plymouth; the other to the
Baltic Sea, with calls from Gdansk to St. Petersburg that include
Stockholm and Kalmar in Sweden, Riga, Latvia, and Klaipeda,

The Deutschland resumes Western Mediterranean cruises in October,
and then makes a seven-night South Atlantic crossing from Tenerife
to the Caribbean in November, where she’ll sail for the rest of the
year.
Launched in 1988, the Deutschland is a nine-deck ship whose art
deco and art nouveau decor recalls the grand days of ocean travel
of the 1920’s. The ship’s 286 staterooms (67 singles) are well
designed with elegant furnishings with burled wood finishes and
fully equipped bathrooms. The Deutschland’s three restaurants are
consistent award winners, and she also features sun decks, swimming
pools, bars, lounges, ballroom, a spa and fitness center.
Deilmann will once again offer special interest cruises in 2006,
with golf and garden cruise programs throughout the year, a musical
gala cruise celebrating Mozart’s 250th anniversary in October and
new equestrian riding programs in May, August and September. Prices
on the 2006 cruises start at $3,090 per person for an outside twin
cabin.
