Celestyal's two ships were scheduled to make two weekly voyages to Kuşadası.
As the war in the Middle East continues with full intensity, it has been learned that a significant number of tankers, as well as a considerable number of cruise ships, are stuck in the Persian Gulf due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and are unable to transit through the strait.
The two ships of the Greek cruise operator Celestyal were planned to start voyages in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Kuşadası, from March 20. So far, there has been no development in attempts to get the ships out of the bay, and it is likely that the voyages, which would bring thousands of tourists to Ege Port Kuşadası throughout the season, will be canceled.

According to Tek Referans, this mid-sized ship, which has 630 cabins, is currently located in Qatar.
