Overview
About This Vessel
MV Lyubov Orlova (built as Lyubovy Orlova) was a Yugoslavia-built ice-strengthened Maria Yermolova-class cruise ship, which was built in 1976 and primarily used for Antarctic cruises. After being taken out of service in 2010, she sat in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada for two years. Decommissioning was fraught with problems and the ship eventually became a floating derelict in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2013. She is believed to have sunk.
