Ivan Bunin
Overview
This is the only one ship on the Russian Waterways with outdoor pool. All cabins are outside and have a promenade walkway outside the cabin. Every cabin has a private nautical-style toilet/shower combination, centrally controlled heating and air-conditioning, mini-refrigerator, a large picture window which can be opened, and twin beds that convert to seating during the day. Cabins are outfitted with 220-volt sockets.
An international telephone booth is located in the reception area, although service can be intermittent or non-existent at times. Fax, telex, and Internet services are not available. These facilities are available in the major tourist hotels in main cities on your tour. Payment is in dollars and can be quite expensive. Your Program Manager will be happy to assist you.
