The admiral ship of the Danube fleet was built in 1850-1853 at the Ganzdanubius Shipyard in Vienna. It was launched in 1854, being the oldest vessel in the Romanian fleet. She also owns the record of being the oldest paddle steamer in Europe.

It was given to Romania in 1919 in war reparation, being renamed "Sarmisegetuza" and converted to a passenger ship. Initially it had a special destination, but along the time aboard the passenger ship Tudor Vladimirescu traveled King Ferdinand and Queen Maria, Carol II, King Michael, Marshal Averescu and Antonescu and during the communist period Nichita Hrușciov, who was the guest of Gheorghiu-Dej.

In 2004, the ship was repaired and refurbished to modern standards by Navrom Galați. The paddle propulsion system was kept in place.

It is just spectacular to passengers to watch through the glass walls of the main deck as the double expansion vertical cylinders mechanism operates, which ship experts call a technical gem.

The ship is currently used for business meetings or other various meetings authorized by Navrom. The rental prices are very high. It charges the starting fee of 1,500 euros, and then it pays 500 euros per hour of navigation. High costs are due to the huge fuel consumption of the steam engine: 640 liters of diesel per hour!
