Notes to Editors:

The Marco Polo began life as the Alexander Pushkin and first sailed under Orient Lines in November 1993 following an extensive refurbishment. She now features two restaurants, four lounges, a casino, library, health club, a beauty centre, an Internet centre, an outdoor swimming pool and three Jacuzzis. At over 22,000 tons, she retains her handsome traditional profile and her resilient ice-strengthened hull that enables her to cruise in the Antarctic.
