At the very least, 16 cruise ships (instead of 5 in June, 11 in July, 7 in August) would call at the Black Sea ports in September 2012.Excluding Istanbul, they are going to visit, at least 13 ports, (in July -12, in August – 11).2 mega-cruise ships ARCADIA and AZURA will enter the Black Sea for the first time.6 vessel entries (marked with this color) include overnight stay in a port, which is quite a rare case in the Black Sea. 4 of them are the mega-vessels of about 300 meters in length.
The total number of calls, without "river-sea" ships is 68 (in June - 23, in July - 66, in August - 29), out of which: Odessa - 16 (in June - 6, July - 12, August - 6) Yalta - 15 (in June -6, July -12, August - 7), Constanta - 9 (in June -2, July - 8, August - 3), Sevastopol - 12 (in June -2, July - 8, August - 3), Nessebar - 10 (in June -2, July – 5, August - 3), Sochi - 5 (in June -2, July - 5, August - 2), Sinop - 2 (in June and July - 2, August -1), Varna - 2 (in June and July - 2, August - 1), Trabzon - 2 (in July - 3, August -1), Batumi - 3 (in July – 2, in August -1), Poti - 1.
As always, we would like to make a proviso. Actually, the comprehensive "official" schedule of cruise ships calls at the Black Sea ports is not available. Thus, we had to compile it from different sources - websites of cruise companies, ports, tourist agencies, etc. Our special thanks to the staff of Select Black Sea travel agency (Yalta) for their invaluable input.
And, as usual, we do not insist that we have listed all the cruise calls. But, for sure, we managed to list most of them. If we have missed any, we’ll add them in case of new data entry.By the way, we greatly appreciate our readers sending us reliable, elaborate and additional information: it is always welcomed:).
