The T. G. Shevchenko (Ukrainian: Т. Г. Шевченко) (formerly Taras Shevchenko) is a Dmitriy Furmanov-class (project 302, BiFa129MK) Soviet/Ukrainian/Kazakh river cruise ship, cruising in the Neva – Volga – Don – Dnepr – Black Sea basin, from Nesebar on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast and Constanța to Saint Petersburg on the Baltic Sea in Russia, and since November 2010 hotelship in the Kurmangazy oil field in the Kazakh section of the Caspian Sea. The ship was built by Elbewerft Boizenburg at their shipyard in Boizenburg, Germany, named after Ukrainian painter and poet Taras Shevchenko and entered service in 1991. Her home port is currently Aktau.
