It is used by OOO "Irtyschskoje Retschnoje Parochodstwo" ( Russian Иртышское Речное Пароходство ) on the Irtysh and whether on the route Omsk - Salekhard operated. The ship is named after the Russian composer and conductor Rimsky-Korsakov .
The river cruise ship with two passenger decks was built in 1956 at the Slovak shipyard Narodny Podnik Škoda in Komárno as Rimskiy-Korsakov for the shipping company "Wolzhskoje Gruzo-passazhirskoje Parochodstwo" (Volga freight passenger shipping company) in Gorki . She belonged to a series of 36 ships of the Rossiya class produced between 1952 and 1958 , which was also known as "Project 785" or "OL800" (Slovak: osobna lod 800 - German: passenger ship 800 hp). The Rimskiy-Korsakov has a diesel-electric drive with two main engines and was completely modernized in 1992–1993 at the Omsk shipyard. It was operated on the Volga from 1956 to 1959 until 1960 was dragged further east to Salekhard. This river cruise ship remained on the Irtysh and Ob to this day as the most comfortable, ahead of the German Rodina , Chernyshevskiy and Mekhanik Kalashnikov (all 3 - Project 646, Baikal). 1999–2008, hauled by Eurosia-Tour Khanty-Mansiysk , Rimskiy-Korsakov was operated on the short route to Bolscheretschje and on the long routes Omsk - Salekhard and Salekhard - Omsk, also with travelers from Germany on board.
