Lev Tolstoy
 
Lev Tolstoy - Natasha - Palmera - The Jasmine - Farah - easyCruise Life
 
 
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Soviet passenger ship Lev Tolstoy.
 
Lev Tolstoy was built in 1981, one of a series of seven similar ships in the Dmitriy Shostakovich Class used by the Soviet shipping companies as ferries and passenger/cruise ships. Lev Tolstoy received a major rebuild in 1986 in Germany and was chartered to German operator Transocean Tours. In 1998 she was renamed Natasha and then Palmira for further German charters. She passed to Mano Cruise in 2001 as The Jasmine. The Jasmine was sold in August 2006 and was renamed Farah, believed for trading in the Far East. In 2008 she was acquired by the easyCruise Group and renamed after easyCruise Life upgrading.
