A New Cruise Destination on the Map!
In a remarkable milestone for Egypt’s cruise tourism sector, Ismailia Yachts Marina proudly welcomed Astoria Grande on her maiden call to this promising new destination.
Measuring 193 metres in length with a draught of 6 metres, the cruise ship arrived under the shipping agency Gulf Agency, offering passengers a unique overnight stay and an opportunity to explore Egypt’s diverse historical and cultural attractions.
During the call, passengers will enjoy different shore excursion experiences. While some will explore the rich heritage of Ismailia, including the Suez Canal Museum and the city’s historical landmarks, others will head to Cairo and Giza to discover Egypt’s world-renowned treasures, including the Great Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
This landmark call reflects the successful and integrated efforts of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) over recent years to promote Ismailia as an emerging tourism destination, highlight the rich history of the Suez Canal, and create new opportunities for cruise tourism in Egypt.
