As the pandemic is nearing an end and as travel returns to the world, Turkey’s ports are starting to once again welcome cruise ships from around the world.
Odyssey of the Seas, which is the largest cruise ship ever to come to Turkey, was welcomed with a band and folk dance team at Ege Port Kuşadası, operated by Global Ports Holding – the world’s biggest cruiser port operator.
Visiting Turkey about a month after Costa Venezia, which was in Turkish waters in late April, Ege Port Kuşadası, a port operated by Global Ports Holding, a subsidiary of Global Investment Holdings Odyssey of the Seas to Ege Port Kuşadası, became the largest ship to arrive at Turkish ports.
Odyssey of the Seas, one of the newest ships of Royal Carribean Cruise Lines to land in 2021, has 347 decks, 5 restaurants, 500 pools and 14 cabins.
16 voyages planned to Kuşadası
Odyssey of the Seas, which made its maiden voyage on May 11, plans to complete 16 voyages to Kuşadası this year. The ship is planning voyages along the Aegean and Mediterranean between May and October 2022, taking off from the port of Civitavecchia in Rome and lasting between seven to 12 days.
The ship will visit prominent Greek islands such as Mykonos and Santorini as well as Aegean Port Kuşadası.
750,000 passengers expected this year
Ege Port Kuşadası General Manager and Global Ports Holding Eastern Mediterranean Regional Director Aziz Güngör said Ege Port Kuşadası this year aims to host a total of 500 voyages and 750 thousand passengers.
“We are very happy to host the largest cruise ship arriving in Turkey. Odyssey of the Seas is one of the world’s newest and most luxurious cruise ships. Hosting these world’s largest ships carrying thousands of passengers is the clearest indication of the intense interest shown towards our country and Kuşadası, one of the most important cruise destinations in the Mediterranean”, he further noted.
