Above all, whentravelling by ship, the voyage itselfbecomes the holiday. The ‘distance’disappears. The holiday begins atthe moment of boarding the ship.Additionally, you are not obliged topack and reopen your luggage at eachport. Your cabin is like your home. Atthe ports you visit, you wander all daylong with the excitement of seeing anew country, and in the evening, youreturn to your ship, where you cancontinue to enjoy your holiday either byhaving fun or by relaxing.Tolga Ünalsın, Orange Cruises’Manager Responsible for Turkey,said that the Malta-based cruise shipwas equipped with the products oflatest technology for the comfort ofpassengers, and that it had beendesigned to meet all kinds of needs, sothat passengers can find everythingthey look for during a holiday in asingle center. Ünalsın emphasized theimportance of cruise ship passengersfor the destinations, and said, “Cruiseship passengers are very importantfor the ports. The ports have to bespecially designed for the passengers.Malta, which has a population of 400thousand, hosts one million passengersannually. In Turkey, port taxes are toohigh. Therefore, the ships dock at theEuropean ports. In order to host morecruise ship passengers in Turkey, taxeshave to be regulated and modern portshave to be built”.

This port isan important point not only for cruisevoyages within the Mediterranean Sea,but also for cruise voyages to SouthAmerica. Every year, 1.2 million cruiseship passengers depart from the Portof Savona. And a considerable part ofour air traffic originates from cruiseship passengers.
