In October 2021, MedCruise announced the resumption of cruise itineraries between Greece, Galataport Istanbul, and Kusadasi, Turkey, following the Greek government's decision to lift health restrictions. After continued efforts, restrictions have now been lifted for all Turkish ports in a second phase. MedCruise is therefore pleased to announce the resumption of cruise and ferry itineraries between Greece and all Turkish ports.
“MedCruise is delighted with this development! Following close collaboration with all stakeholders, we are pleased to announce this news, which comes just in time for cruise ports and cruise lines to organize the season, following all public health protection processes and guidelines.
It is worth remembering that the scientific support of the European Union's Healthy Gateways Joint Action Team, led by Professor Christos Hadjichristodoulou, together with CLIA Europe, cruise lines and MedCruise, have been fundamental in reaching this moment.
“MedCruise is committed to continuing to develop similar activities and campaigns to support each and every one of its members, facilitating the safety and sustainable growth of cruise activities in the Mediterranean and its adjacent seas,” says MedCruise President Ms. Figen Ayan.
