The Saga Pearl II made her Maiden Call at Marmaris today, meantime it was the first vessel to call in Marmaris this year. The ship came to Marmaris in the early hours of the morning with her 366 passengers and 263 crew onboard.

Once more Marmaris Cruise Port welcomed maiden guests in traditional Turkish style.

Saga Pearl II’s guests were greeted with the music and shows of the Ottoman military marching band, also known as the “janissary band of musicians”. Marmaris Cruise Port kept the traditional style welcome with a complimentary mini Turkish bazaar on the pier. The guests had the chance to walk through the mini bazaar as they disembarked their ship.
