I spoke to someone from SilverSeas UK this morning and they said no cancellation at the moment. I understand it is a difficult decision.

We are on the next sailing from Dubai. The Silver Moon has left for Port Said. Hope everything goes as planned.

We have been to Porto San Stefano several times. A nice port of call. It is a beautiful harbor town with nice seafood restaurants. The area is very beautiful, Porto Ercole is worth a visit. It is approximately a 75 minutes drive from Civitavecchia.

Thank you very much for the update. We board December 9th. We are already looking forward to it.

Yes, very frustrating and confusing. I received the travel documents from TA today. It is still a Greece,Turkey and Bulgaria cruise. Depart Istanbul 2 May 4PM 🤔.

Yes, I see the same. No choice of staterooms.

Azamara Pursuit has changed the route for the May 2 2023 sailing. The ports of Burgas, Varna and Constanta have been canceled and changed to Cesme, Rhodes and Kusadasi. Completely understandable, safety comes first. But I am a bit disappointed in the choice of the new ports. I hope Thu 2 May is a Tue 2 May. 🤔 Gitte Dear Azamara Guest, We're writing to inform you of some important changes on your 12-Night Greece & Turkey Voyage departing on May 2, 2023, on Azamara Pursuit®. At present, security conditions, particularly along Ukraine's borders and in the Black Sea, have become increasingly unpredictable. For the safety of our guests and crew, we've made the decision to avoid entering the Black Sea and will remove all our stops in Bulgaria and Romania from your itinerary. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you will understand that, while we always intend to follow the itinerary you originally booked, the current situation requires us to avoid sailing in the Black Sea at this time. However, we have added some wonderful alternatives to your itinerary. We've included new stops in Turkey, including Ephesus (Kusadasi) and Cesme, as well as another in Rhodes, Greece, which are always popular ports of call on our itineraries. To fit them into the itinerary we are changing the day we visit Canakkale (Kepez), Turkey. Full itinerary details can be found in the charts below. While we will no longer be sailing in the Black Sea, we are pleased to inform you that we will be doing some scenic cruising of the Bosphorus Strait after the ship departs Istanbul on May 3rd. The Bosphorus Strait is one of the most scenic routes in the region and offers breathtaking views of Istanbul's iconic landmarks and historic sites, such as the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. The narrow strait is also lined with picturesque villages and beautiful waterfront mansions, providing a unique glimpse into the local culture and lifestyle. We believe that this new itinerary will provide you with an unforgettable experience and we can't wait for you to join us on this beautiful journey. Rest assured, any shore excursions purchased for Bulgaria and Romania through Azamara, will be refunded to the original form of payment. New shore excursion opportunities will be available soon by logging in to your voyage planner. We greatly appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation throughout our journey as we have worked to manage this fluid situation. We can assure you that your upcoming Azamara vacation will deliver the highest standards of service and quality for which we are known. Should you have any questions, please contact your Travel Advisor immediately for more details specific to your country of residence or visit https://www.azamara.com/contact-us for your local Azamara call center number. We look forward to welcoming you on board.
