Alanya Cruise Port’s season kicked off in style with visits from both UK and German cruise lines belonging to the TUI Group.
Sitting alongside each other in glorious sunshine, Thomson Spirit joined Hapag Lloyd’s Europa in a rare meeting that illustrates the breadth of the cruise offering across the integrated tourism group.
Alanya is the first port of call on a series of regular “Ancient Affair” cruises from its homeport of Limassol through March and April that combines Cyprus, Turkey, Greece and Israel. In May, Thomson Spirit then moves to its summer homeport of Marmaris, but continues to call at Alanya. Altogether the ship will call 13 times this year.
The Europa is sailing a longer cruise exploring “A Melting Pot of Antiquity” visiting a number of countries that will bring history and archaeology to life.
Alanya Cruise Port is dedicated to cruising, with no cargo, ferry or naval traffic which make it an ideal port of call, for both organised tours or independent guests, with ancient history and some of the best beaches in the Eastern Mediterranean within very short distance from the cruise berth.
