Departures are weekly from Odessa on a Monday at 1600hrs, arriving Istanbul at 1630hrs the next day. The m/v ‘Yuzhnaya Palmyra’ is a car-passenger ferry that can carry up to 464 passengers in cabins with private facilities. The ferry is classed by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, and meets latest SOLAS requirements. Facilities onboard include a good restaurant, music saloon, 4 bars, night club, and cinema. This extension will appeal to those with a sense of adventure, rather than those seeking a true cruise experience. ‘Yuzhnaya Palmyra’ is a working vessel carrying an interesting mix of passengers; Ukrainians enjoying a shopping trip to Istanbul, Turks returning home after a holiday to the Crimea, and people travelling on business. For those choosing to take the extension, you can look forward to a warm and friendly welcome from both the professional crew and your fellow passengers. A relaxing journey to reflect on your travels and an opportunity to mix with the friendly Ukrainian people, perhaps even sharing the odd vodka or two as the vessel steams towards Istanbul. Your package will include the return flight from Istanbul back to the UK, together with your choice of accommodation in Istanbul. Please contact us for further details of this unique extension. Price will depend on your chosen onboard accommodation and length of stay in Istanbul. Top of page>> |
