Schedule of cruise ship calls at the Black Sea ports in October 2012

No less than 14 cruise ships will visit Black Sea ports in October 2012, compared to 5 in June, 11 in July, 7 in August, and 16 in September. They will visit at least 14 ports, besides Istanbul (in July they visited 12 ports, 11 in August, 13 in September and October).
1 mega-liner - QUEEN ELIZABETH – will visit the Black Sea for the first time.
In October, there will be 67 calls totally, not counting "river-sea" type vessels (in June there were 23 calls, in July 66, in August 29, and in September 68).
As always, we are making a reservation, since there, actually, does not exist any "official" summarized schedule of cruise ships visits to the Black Sea ports. We have had to combine various sources: websites of cruise companies, ports, tourist agencies, etc.
As always, we are not saying that all visits will be cruises. But the majority will be - that's for sure. What we have not found - will supplement in the course of events :). As a matter of fact, if our readers have reliable information to supplement or clarify – please, send it to us, we will be grateful :) - in September, our readers have strongly helped us with their supplements and clarifications.
