Black Sea Cruises are reliable European cruises for those who desire to visit the Black Sea border countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey. These cruises expose the travelers to different cultures, traditions, and a wide variety of beautiful natural environments and marine life (especially the bottlenose dolphins). As the sea is frozen in winters, the cruise season commences in summer from mid-April to mid-October. The duration of the cruise program usually varies from 8 to 14 days.

Istanbul is one of the important Black Sea ports and the meeting point of Europe and Asia. Most of the Black Sea cruises start here or include this as a major port.
