Miray International - Miray Cruises, Turkey's first cruise ship investor company, is counting the days to embark on its first cruise, a luxury cruise with a capacity of 1000 passengers.
There will now be a Turkish company in the cruise market in the Mediterranean, where Italian and Greek companies are strong. Miray International - Miray Cruises, which has been operating in the cruise hotel management sector for many years, has made a major investment with the luxury cruise ship it purchased.
Miray International - Miray Cruises General Manager Ahmet Yazıcı stated that the Cruise Holiday sector in the world has reached a size close to 40 billion dollars and said, “Turkey cannot get enough share from this size. As Turkish companies, we need our own ships in order to be strong in the sector. This investment we have realized is a historic move for the Turkish Cruise sector. It will strengthen our hand in international competition.”.
The Cruise Holiday sector, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, has reached a size of approximately 40 billion dollars in the world. Miray International - Miray Cruises made the first move from Turkey against the Italian and Greek companies that take the lion's share of this size in the Mediterranean. The company, which has been serving in the sector for many years, made a major investment in the Cruise sector by purchasing a luxury cruise ship.
Stating that this acquisition is very important for the cruise hotel management sector, Mr. Ahmet Yazıcı, General Manager of Miray International - Miray Cruises, said: “Cruise is a very big sector and Italian and Greek companies have the largest share of this size in the Mediterranean. Since Turkish companies continue their activities with chartered ships, continuity cannot be ensured. As Miray International - Miray Cruises, we have achieved great success in the Cruise sector with our luxury ship that we are preparing for sailing. This acquisition is a historic move for the Turkish Cruise sector. It will strengthen our hand in international competition.”.
WAITING IN KUŞADASI, WILL START TOURS SOON
Our Miray Cruise ship, which is ready for service in Kuşadası, will start its tours in the near future. Stating that the Miray Cruise ship is one of the most popular cruise ships in the Mediterranean, Ahmet Yazıcı shared the following information: “Our ship, which has 400 passenger cabins (luxury rooms), has a capacity of 1,000 passengers. The 164-meter-long cruise ship will soon start its tours departing from Turkey. The ship, which will travel in the Aegean and Mediterranean, will make a difference by serving with Turkish concept service and food standards.”
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TAKEN DUE TO PANDEMIC
Underlining that cruise vacation is one of the reliable vacation options during the pandemic period, Ahmet Yazıcı said, “The guests and service providers on the ship are people who have been taken in within the precautions and health checks have been carried out, and coronavirus tests of everyone taken on board are performed just before the cruise. Since these people do not interact with the outside on the ship, no staff or guest poses a danger to anyone else. From the moment of entry to the ship until the end of the tour, all measures and rules recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and our Ministry of Health are disciplinedly implemented on board. During cruise travels, the health status of passengers and crew members is constantly monitored by both port authorities and the ship's medical team. Since these people do not interact with the outside on the ship, no officer or guest poses a danger to another person.”.
