She is rather a unique vessel. During six months of the year is a floating class-room called World Odyssey and for the rest of the year she operates as a traditional cruise shjp called Deutschland. Presently she is moored in the Bay of Palma.

The ship carries 513 passengers and 260 crew members. She has a gross tonnage of 22,400 and has seven passenger accessible decks.

In 2000, Air France Flight 4590 crashed near Paris. The New York City-bound Concorde charter flight had been carrying passengers for a sixteen-day cruise to South America on board MS Deutschland. Despite the accident, the cruise continued as planned.
