Recall that Black Sea cruises connecting Russia and Turkey were previously launched. From mid-July to October next year, the Astoria Grande cruise ship will carry Russians from the Black Sea port of Sochi to Istanbul.
According to the head of the Sochi commercial port, Yuri Vladimirov, two-week international cruises will begin on July 16. The cruise ship Astoria Grande will arrive in the famous city center of Istanbul with stops at the ports of Sinop and Trabzon.
According to Turkish media, the ship will remain at its final destination for several days, then head to the Aegean Sea and, after visiting the port of the resort town of Cesme, will return to Sochi. Read more at this link.
