The
m/s Kristina Regina is a traditional passenger ship.
The vessel, originally a steam ship, was built in Oskarshamn
in 1960 and the genuine atmosphere is still there.
Since Kristina Cruises Ltd. purchased the ship in
1987, several major renovations have been made covering
the whole vessel from the engine room to the bridge.
The
latest renovation of the m/s Kristina Regina was
carried
out in spring 2001, when all cabins and public
space were refurbished to meet the requirements of
new cruise itineraries. A health centre and a laundry
were built and a new on-board computer system was installed.
Cruise passengers can best notice this last change
from their electronic boarding cards, which can also
be used as credit cards on the ship. The panorama café,
being a popular meeting place for passengers, has become
the living-room of the ship. The m/s Kristina Regina
is looked after with utmost reverence and the genuine
atmosphere of this unique ship is carefully maintained.
The m/s Kristina Regina sails under the Finnish flag
with all-Finnish crew and meets all the safety requirements
set by the Marine Authorities.
About the name - The m/s Kristina
Regina got her name after the Swedish-Finnish Queen
Kristina, who ruled her kingdom in the 17th century
in quite an original and unprejudiced manner.
The
m/s Kristina Regina is a passenger ship of "the
good old days" and provides a setting for shorter
as well as for longer international cruises. The ship
has specialised in arranging tailor-made special cruises,
the routes and ports of call having been carefully
chosen above all because of their unique and extraordinary
characteristics. Thus a cruise on the m/s Kristina
Regina becomes a real expedition cruise

all the passengers are Finnish, so eg. the optional
