The cruise ship, which has visited many provinces in the Black Sea but had not previously docked in Samsun, has now added Samsun to its route. The cruise ship, which is planned to visit 43 more times this season, entered Samsun directly from Russia's Sochi Port for the first time.
In Samsun, where cruise tourism is accelerating, the cruise ship named Astoria Grande, carrying 790 tourists and 420 personnel, was welcomed by officials at the Port of Samsun, where it returned after 37 days.
After a long journey, the tourists took photos of both the ship and the view of Samsun upon setting foot in the city. The tourists who disembarked from the ship toured the city individually and in groups, and went shopping.
It was learned that the ship, which will weigh anchor from the Port of Samsun at 20:00, will head to Trabzon.
