Medium-sized passenger steamship Astore

Astore should be italicized as the name of the ship, but I'm not sure that's the proper spelling.

Or maybe "Astore, a medium-sized passenger steamship"

a midsize Astor steamship (or cruise ship)

Astor is a passenger ship built by Sovcomflot.
Please see the blow references.

The direct translation would be "MS Steamship Astor Passenger Ship."
Since it is kind of too long and I believe the name "Astor" includes the nuance of "passenger ship," we can simply put a "(MS) Astor Steamship."

On the web, however, while Astor is usually referred as a "cruise ship," her sister ship (ASTORIA) is referred as a "steamship."

Since "cruise ship" can connote both "steamship" and "passenger vessel," you may want to consult with the client if they prefer to use "Midsize ASTOR Cruise Ship"

Sorry, the last reference has "http://" redundant. It should be:
