The Israel-based company, Mano Cruises, will offer a summer season in the Mediterranean.
After seeing some of its 2023 operations affected by the geopolitical situation in the region, Mano Cruises plans to offer a total of 46 departures starting on May 30.
The cruises will depart from the port of Haifa, Israel, aboard the Crown Iris. The ship, with a capacity for 1,500 passengers, will offer a range of itineraries of two, three, four, five, seven, eleven, and fourteen nights to various destinations in the region.
The first trip of the season is a three-night cruise to Cyprus that includes an overnight visit to Limassol.
The program also includes several stops in Greece, such as Agios Nikolaos, Rhodes, Patmos, Mykonos, Santorini, Piraeus and Volos.
Other destinations visited include Larnaca, Cyprus, and Dubrovnik, Croatia. The latter is part of a special 11-night Adriatic cruise departing in October.
In addition to Dubrovnik, the itinerary includes several destinations in the region, such as Brindisi in Italy; Kalamata, Argostoli, Corfu, Katakolon and Chania in Greece; and Split in Croatia.
At the end of its 2024 sailing season, the Crown Iris will also offer a 14-night cruise in the Western Mediterranean in late November.
This two-week cruise, which also departs from Israel and returns, stops in France, Italy and Greece, with Catania and Palermo in Sicily; Olbia in Sardinia; and Villefranche on the French Riviera.
The Crown Iris also sails to Civitavecchia, Naples, Chania and Heraklion before returning to Israel in early December.
Acquired by Mano Cruises in 2018, the Crown Iris is currently the only ship in the company's fleet.
Originally in service for Majesty Cruise Line, the ship built in 1992 also sailed for Norwegian Cruise Line, Louis Cruises and Thomson Cruises, among other brands.
