MS Excelsior Neptune

MS Excelsior Neptune was an ocean liner owned by the Soviet Union's Black Sea Shipping Company.

It was named after Felix Dzerzhinsky, a Soviet statesman and founder of the Soviet secret police (Cheka).

MS Excelsior Neptune was built in 1958. Vessels of this generation reflect the design conventions of their construction era: atrium layouts, public-room programming, balcony cabin ratios and propulsion systems all evolved measurably between the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s shipbuilding cycles.

Key reported specifications for MS Excelsior Neptune include an overall length of approximately 122 metres.

Onboard programming on a vessel of MS Excelsior Neptune's profile typically includes multiple dining venues, a central showroom, pool deck areas, a spa and fitness facility, themed bars, and on family-oriented brands children's and teen spaces.

Itineraries assigned to MS Excelsior Neptune reflect the operator's seasonal deployment plan, which moves vessels between regions to follow demand and weather. Researching the ship's current and upcoming season gives the most accurate picture of where it will sail.
