She carries 513 passengers and 260 crew members. She has a GT|22,400|metric|first=yes and has seven passenger accessible decks.

The German television show "Das Traumschiff" ("The Dream Ship"), which was similar to the US-made show "The Love Boat", was set aboard the "Deutschland".

Air France Flight 4590, a New York City-bound Concorde charter flight carrying passengers for the "Deutschland" for a 16-day cruise to South America, crashed on takeoff in Paris in 2000, killing all passengers.
