MS Columbus is a 15,000-ton cruise ship owned by the Hapag-Lloyd cruise line. She was built in 1997, in Wismar, Germany. Her relatively small size allows her to transit the Great Lakes, one of the few modern cruise ships and the only german one able to do so. However, she is flexible enough to cruise worldwide as well, for example travelling the Mediterranean for cultural cruises with Martin Randall Travel. Her crew size is 170,[1] and her top speed is 16 knots.[2]
