Marmaris Theme Cruises
A listing of some of the best marmaris theme cruises available
Marmaris is without a doubt one of the most beautiful harbors along the coast of Turkey, and cruises run in and out of it daily. While many cruise operators, such as Olympos Yachting and Blue Cruises, offer great value for their cruise packages, there are also fantastic wine and food them cruises available in the region.
Here’s the lowdown on where to find specific marmaris theme cruises…
The authority on theme cruises is MSC. They offer cruise packages around the world for people interested in wine and cheese, and the Turkish coast is well known for producing both! Currently, they offer an eleven day cruise originating in Naples, that stops for a night in Marmaris.
An Italian based company, MSC spares no expense in offering their guests a top notch culinary experience. As you sail the open seas, master chefs run demonstrations on how to prepare various Mediterranean dishes. There are also hosted events where a chef holds a questions and answer session for anyone interested.
Wine is equally well represented. There are several wine tastings available, ranging from strong tannic Barolos to the classic Italian Chiantis. These tastings include a wine dictionary, which helps guests learn more about this fascinating subject (I’ve taken the sommelier exam, and it never ceases to amaze me how much these guys know!)There are also demonstrations from bartenders on how to create world class cocktails. Hell, even if you don’t want to learn to mix drinks, it pays to mind the bar for the samples! Keep in mind that MSC is for serious food and wine people, and the price reflects this. The aforementioned eleven night cruise runs $1,049 per person, and that doesn’t include additional taxes and surcharges (not to mention drinks, which is something to consider if you’re interested in a wine cruise!). Having said that, MSC definitely caters to those interested in Marmaris them cruises.
