Sailing voyage from the Primordial Sea to Kamchatka and Cheju costs approximately 170,000 for a duration of 10 days.
Next spring, a maritime adventure awaits as a brand-new cruise ship sets sail from Vladivostok, Russia, promising an unforgettable journey through the Primorye, Sakhalin, and Kamchatka regions. The maiden voyage, scheduled for May 2023, will last for 10 days and offer a unique opportunity to explore some of Russia's most breathtaking landscapes.
The selected vessel, capable of accommodating over 1400 passengers, will be a floating luxury resort, complete with eight bars and restaurants, a spacious event hall, a spa, fitness center, and an open-air pool. The ship's itinerary includes potential stops in South Korean islands, Shanghai, China, Hong Kong, Hainan Island, and Japanese ports, making it an international affair.
While the exact cost for the 10-day journey has not been disclosed, the preliminary price for one day of the cruise is 17,000 rubles per person. However, for those planning to embark on this adventure, it's essential to consider additional expenses such as flights, train transfers, on-shore expenses, and optional excursions.
For instance, flight costs to nearby airports (e.g., Milan or Rome) can vary but begin at approximately 74β¬ plus baggage fees. Additional transport like train transfers from airports to ports are also needed, with costs ranging between 93β¬ to 330β¬ for round trips in some regions. On-shore expenses and optional excursions will add to the overall cost, although precise figures are not yet available.
Cruise organisers are also considering the need to adjust air communication with the Far East to transport over a thousand passengers. This may involve increasing the number of flights or even organising charter flights specifically for cruises, including their cost in the overall tour package, particularly for foreign guests.
The launch of these cruises is expected to boost tourism in the regions, with more hotels planned to appear, primarily in the capitals of Primorye and Kamchatka. The details of the first cruise were shared by tourism experts at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
Entry into Europe will operate under new rules, with tourists being scanned and their data kept for three years. During the off-peak seasons of autumn and spring, the liner will undertake international voyages, offering more opportunities for travellers to explore the world.
So, get ready for an exciting voyage of discovery next year as this new cruise ship sets sail, promising an unforgettable journey through Russia's Far East.
