NSB offers the Maruba Africa from Buenos Aires to Ecuador and back via the Strait of Magellan. The Maruba Africa can accommodate two passengers in one Owner's Suite. The dining room and lounge with TV/VCR are shared with the ship's officers (TV reception is only possible near port areas). There is a sauna and a fitness room with table tennis and either a stationary bicycle or rowing machine. The indoor (seawater) pool, deck chairs and laundry facilities are all available to passengers. There is a steward on board, and the ship offers weekly cabin service. There is no elevator, so passengers must be able to negotiate many stairs. The Owner's Suite is on Deck 6 (in the middle of the superstructure), is carpeted, and is about 269 square feet (approximately 25 square meters), including the bathroom. The living room has 2 windows, and a wardrobe, small refrigerator, sitting arrangement, desk, chair, TV/DVD, short wave radio, and a view to the front with a possibly obstructed view. The bedroom has 1 window and a double bed about 78" x 70" (2 x 1.8 meters). Built in 2007, the vessel is 31,200 DWT and about 669 feet long (204 meters). The lead officers are German, and the remainder of the crew is typically German or Filipino. 42 Day Roundtrip Fares* Owner's Suite double occupancy about $6,300 p/p (Euro 4,200 p/p) Owner's Suite single occupancy about $8,190 (Euro 5,460) * Deviation insurance and port taxes are an additional about $368 p/p (Euro 245 p/p). The fares are established in Euros by the Shipping Line, and therefore must be paid to the Line in Euros by Freighter World Cruises. The estimated U.S.$ fares are based on a currency exchange rate of Euro 1.00 to US$1.50. The final U.S. dollar fare will be based on the exchange rate at the time the currency is purchased. Any decrease in the final fare from that quoted above will be refunded, and any increase will be collected.
