The Ship
The mid-sized M / S Aurora was built in the Meyer Shipyard in Germany and made its maiden voyage in 2000 and was last modernized in 2014. In April 2019, Aurora expanded the cruise line's "adults-only" fleet and operates exclusively as an adult only ship. Thanks to the elegantly stepped tail, the ship is always easy to recognize. On a length of 270 m and with 10 passenger decks the M/S Aurora can accommodate up to 1874 passengers. Inside, the three-storey atrium with an elaborate waterfall forms the heart of the ship. A wide selection of bars, diverse entertainment options and a comprehensive restaurant offer leaves nothing to be desired.
