The interest in cruise ship travels, in which many services such as accommodation, food and entertainment are offered, is growing day by day. Finally, according to the data announced by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Adil Karaismailoğlu, it is seen that the number of cruise passengers increased by 2022 times in 22 and exceeded 1 million, while many domestic and foreign tourists are already planning their overseas holidays for 2023.

Selectum Blu Executive Board Member Tayfun Turanlıoğlu gave information about the special concept tours they are planning for this year after the successful 2022 season.
“In addition to our Greek islands tour, we will present thematic concepts this year”
Tayfun Turanlıoğlu, Member of the Executive Board of Selectum Blu, which will start its 2023 tours on May 2, said, “As every year, we designed unique and interesting concepts for our guests to have an unforgettable holiday experience on our ship named Blue Sapphire. We will hold the first tour of the 2023 summer season on 2 May. This year, we will present thematic concepts in addition to our usual ultra all-inclusive Greek islands tour from Bodrum port. Our first themed private tour 'Are You Ready for Your Own Journey?' With the slogan, it will take place on the schedule from May 16, 2023. As part of this tour, we have created a tremendous program that will allow our guests to experience different experiences, and that will allow them to go beyond the limits of their bodies, purify them spiritually and physically, and give meaning to their own journeys.
Handpan, zumba, tabata and yoga practices on board
Tayfun Turanlıoğlu said, “Our Blue Sapphire ship is 200 meters long and approximately 28,5 meters wide. Our guests, who cruise in the comfort of a 366-star hotel in 5 cabins, have the opportunity to participate in different activities while spending time in many areas such as the restaurant, SPA center, fitness center, pool, game room and shops on this large and magnificent ship consisting of 12 floors. This year, we offer our guests a brand new program. In this program, we promise a peaceful and enjoyable journey to those who want to integrate with nature and experience the zen atmosphere on board, with sound healing, ecstatic dance, handpan, zumba, tabata and yoga activities conducted by professional instructors, where they do not realize how time passes. spoke.
“Our guests will complete their tour rested, purified and renewed”
Emphasizing that all guests disembarking from the ship will be rested, purified and renewed after this tour, Tayfun Turanlıoğlu concluded his words as follows: “Another thing we pay attention to in our ultra all-inclusive tours is to ensure that our guests spend longer time at destinations. For example, we leave Mykonos, where we dock in the morning, at around 03.00 at night. Thus, we help our guests get to know the island in detail and experience its nightlife. In 2023, we will sign many firsts in this regard. We want our guests to experience the comfort of a luxury hotel on the high seas while sailing to new experiences. In addition, by carefully examining all the feedback we receive, we aim to always offer the best to our guests.”
