In August 2012, the ports of the Black Sea will visit at least seven cruise ships (instead of 5 in June and 11 in July). They will visit a minimum of 11 ports, not including Istanbul (in July was 12). They were all in the Black Sea in July.
The total number of calls, not counting ships "river-sea" - 29 (in June was 23, in July 66), of which:Odessa - 6 (in June was 6, July 12), Yalta - 7 (in June was 6, July 12), Constanta - 3 (June was 2, July 8), Sevastopol - 3 (June was 2, July 8), Nessebar - 3 (June was 2, July 5), Sochi - 2 (in June was 2, July 5), Sinop - 1 (in June and July were 2), Varna - 1 (in June and July were 2), Trabzon - 1 (in July was 3), Batumi - 1 (in July was 2), Tulcea - 1 (in July was one).
As always, make a reservation. Actually, the "official" summary schedule of visits of cruise ships to the Black Sea does not exist. So, we had to combine different sources - websites of cruise companies, ports, tourist agencies, etc. Especially the staff helped us travel agency Select Black Sea (Yalta ).
We will, as always, is not to say that everything is cruising. But the majority - that's for sure ... What is not found - will supplement the course of events :). By the way, if our readers have reliable information to supplement or clarify - you can send will be very grateful :).
