(www.MaritimeCyprus.com) Mano Maritime, a leading Israeli shipping company, in coordination with Israel’s Ministry of Transportation, is launching two dedicated cruise voyages to facilitate the return of Israeli citizens currently stranded in Cyprus. The repatriation effort will be conducted using the company’s luxury cruise vessel, Crown Iris, which has a passenger capacity of 2,000.
The operation is scheduled to commence with the first voyage departing from the Port of Limassol on Wednesday, subject to final authorization by Israel’s defense authorities and other relevant agencies, and contingent on prevailing security conditions.
Upon arrival in Israel with the initial group of returnees, the Crown Iris will promptly return to Limassol to embark the second group of passengers. Each leg of the journey is expected to last approximately 15 hours. The vessel will make a brief stop in Limassol solely for the purpose of boarding, before setting course back to Israel.
Described by the company as a “5-star floating hotel,” the Crown Iris offers a comfortable and temporary solution for those seeking to return home. Reservations for these special voyages can be made exclusively through Mano Maritime’s official website.
