Andrei KLIMENKO,
BlackSeaNews Editor in Chief

Our decision was to offer our readers the May 2013 cruise program in 3 versions: chronology, cruise ship and ports of call wise. In this case, a lot of words are of no need – everything is quite clear at once:).

As always, we will be glad if our well-informed readers submit us with their comments with any additional information and updates to this very schedule:)

As always, we would like to make a proviso. In fact, the "official" comprehensive schedule of cruise ships calls at the Black Sea ports does not exist. So, we had to stitch together data from different sources – websites of cruise companies, ports, tourist agencies, etc.

And, as usual, we do not claim that we have listed here all the cruise calls. Still, here you can find majority of them. What is missing, will be added in case of new data entry. By the way, our readers are more than welcome to send us any reliable complimentary or updating information. We will be very grateful to get it, as in September our readers really helped us with their additions and updates.

As for us, we will update the schedule with actual port calls of non-listed before ships, (marking them with this color)...

The failed cruise ships calls will be marked with this color...

And some other important remarks:

1) We do not set targets to analyze the calls of the "river-sea" ships, so, please find here what’s available...;

2) The ships arrival and departure time here is local (lt). Thus, it is Georgian in Batumi, Moscow time in Sochi, Kiev time – in Yalta, Odessa, Sevastopol (and it is the same in Istanbul, Romania and Bulgaria).

For the statistics enthusiasts, here is the final summary of the Black sea ports cuise calls in April of 2013.
