Bulgaria (Russian: Булга́рия, romanized: Bulgariya) was a class 785/OL800^[2] Russian river cruise ship (built in Komárno, Czechoslovakia) which operated in the Volga-Don basin. On 10 July 2011, Bulgaria sank in the Kuybyshev Reservoir of the Volga River near Syukeyevo, Kamsko-Ustyinsky District, Tatarstan, Russia,^[3] with 201^[4] passengers and crew aboard^[5] when sailing from the town of Bolgar to the regional capital, Kazan.^[6] The catastrophe led to 122 confirmed deaths (bodies recovered and identified).^[7]

The sinking of Bulgaria was Russia's worst maritime disaster since 1986, when the SS Admiral Nakhimov collided with a cargo ship and 423 people died.^[8]
