	Arkona Feature Review - Raoul Fiebig
		Today, the M/S "Arkona" is 18,591 gt at a length of 164.35 meters (~540 ft.) and has a double capacity of 516 passengers, which are cared for by 243 crew members.
		When I arrived at the historic Columbuskaje cruise terminal in Bremerhaven on the morning of June 17th, I did not see the "Arkona" behind the big terminal building, but I was sure she was there, as lots of (mostly elderly) passengers left the building, where they were awaited by dozens of cabs and buses.
		The "Arkona" has the typical elegant profile of the early cruise ships of the post-liner era, with a longer foredeck than it is found on today's ships.
