Following the recent news that Germany’s Phoenix Seereisen will not be renewing its charter of the 1969-built steam turbine powered cruise ship Maxim Gorkiy after November this year comes an unconfirmed report from Germany that Russian billionaire and owner of London’s Chelsea FC, Roman Abramovich, is looking to buy the Sovcomflot owned vessel and convert her into a private yacht for use as a floating hotel during the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Russian Black Sea port of Sochi.
