The Dolphin is the latest addition to Saud Kruger's line of luxury passenger ships. It’s a small vessel with a very low starter price aimed at commanders wishing to embark upon a role of a tourist pilot. As with the rest of the passenger liners, the Dolphin can fit all the necessary passenger suites ensuring maximum comfort for all on board.
With an above-average jump-range and a sleek design, the Dolphin will surely find its place among the ever-growing field of space tourism. The Dolphin together with Orca and Beluga Liner are the only ships fittable with Luxury cabins.
The ship was released in update 2.3 "The Commanders". Purchasing it requires owning the Horizons expansion.[1][2]
