‘Multiple benefits from cruises and port services’
May 17, 2021
Officials on Sunday welcomed the decision by cruise lines to include Cyprus in their summer programmes and use port services, which, they said, is a giant boost to the country’s tourism product and economy.
The minister of transport, along with the deputy ministers for tourism and shipping, the head of Pasyxe hoteliers’ association and Disy leader Averof Neophytou visited in the morning the Royal Caribbean’s ‘Odyssey of the Seas’, which is currently at the Limassol port. The vessel, which was scheduled to run a new line from Israel to Greece and Cyprus from next month, is to leave the area after Royal Caribbean cancelled the cruise schedule citing regional security concerns.
