Astoria Grande launches new cruise routes from Antalya to Europe
The cruise ship Astoria Grande has announced an expansion of its European itineraries, departing exclusively from Antalya, Turkey, for the upcoming season.
This provides travellers with new opportunities to combine a holiday in Turkey with a cruise to attractive destinations.
For the first time, the programme includes the iconic cities of Monte Carlo and Venice, offering passengers a unique chance to experience these Mediterranean gems.
The departure from Antalya, one of Turkey' s largest tourist cities, underscores the region' s growing role as a central hub for tourism. In addition to the new European routes, Astoria Grande will also offer visa-free options covering both Egypt and Turkey.
This could significantly simplify travel for international passengers who wish to visit both countries without having to apply for multiple visas.
The expansion of the cruise offering from Antalya may increase the attractiveness of the Turkish Riviera as a starting point for further travel.
Travellers can now plan a holiday that combines sun and beach in Antalya with a cruise to historical and glamorous cities in Europe or an exploration of Egypt' s pyramids.
This initiative provides greater flexibility and a wider range of holiday options for Nordic travellers and other international tourists planning a trip to Turkey.
