Variety Cruises sets sail to the Black Sea with its new Black Sea Treasures Cruise in summer 2011. The eight-day program aboard the Pegasus mega yacht is a one-way trip from Odessa, Ukraine to Istanbul, Turkey or reverse and includes visits to Romania, Bulgaria and the Crimea Peninsula with fares beginning at $2,690 per person. An introductory special includes a free two-night stay in Istanbul pre- or post-cruise with airport transfer, hotel and land excursions for bookings made and paid for by February 1, 2011.
The Black Sea Treasures Cruise has two embarkation options: Odessa, Ukraine’s major seaport with architecture influenced by Mediterranean and Russian styles; and Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city and the country’s cultural, economic, and financial center. Ports of call also include Nessebur in Bulgaria, an ancient city and UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Pearl of the Black Sea”; Costantza, Romania, one of the country’s oldest cities and the Black Sea’s largest port; Romania’s Sulina-Danube Delta via private boat excursion; and Sevastopol, a naval port city in Ukraine on the Crimea Peninsula for excursions to Yalta and Crimea Riviera.
Passengers cruise aboard the twin-hulled Pegasus mega yacht, built in 1990 and refitted in the 2010, accommodates up to 49 guests in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere. Just 23 cabins ensure an intimate atmosphere. The vessel features 240m2 of open deck with comfortable lounge chairs, indoor and outdoor lounge with bar, a stocked library and spacious restaurant area. A platform on the stern enables guests to swim when weather and anchorage conditions permit.
