ONLY THREE SUPER CRUISES
ON BLACK SEA IN JULY AND AUGUST

Cruises on Crimea - Caucasus line were very popular in USSR from 1930's to 1990's. Summer cruises along the scenic shores of Crimea and Caucasus have been an essential part of a vacation for soviet elite. The best soviet artists - Leonid Utesov, Vladimir Visotsky, Arkadiy Raykin, Mark Bernes and many other movie and theatre stars were taking as an honor an opportunity to perform on board of sea liners sailed every summer from Odessa. Tickets for Black Sea cruises were very hard to get and every season only one of five people who wanted to take a cruise could actually make it. During the cruise passengers could meet many famous people, start a romantic relationship but most of all, they had a really good time and lots of fun. Unfortunately, after collapse of Soviet Union in 1991, Black Sea cruises were discontinued.

Since 1991 there were lots of changes in the countries that have become independed but the main things are still there: beautiful nature, sea shore landscape, warm summer sea and a people's desire to spend a week in an atmosphere of a holiday and comfort.

In summer season 2007, after 16-year break Ukrainian National Carrier Shipping Company "Ukrferry" resumes cruises on a famous historical route of Crimea - Caucasus line Odessa - Yalta - Sochi - Istanbul - Odessa. There are going to be 3 cruises:
