Hi Peter,

That's the official website of the operating company. Unfortunately the don't have much info there.
Vessels ANKARA and SAMSUN often operate under charter.
About MAVI MARMARA you should find information under www.ido.com.tr

Sailings were suspended in July last year. See here. Samsun was used as some sort of an exhibition ship towards the end of last year for Libya, but no idea where Ankara is. I doubt they are 5* cruise ships as advertised.

if you'd like to get an idea of how the ships look inside, you can find here some impressions about SAMSUN's and ANKARA's sistership YUZHNAYA PALMYRA:
www.yuzhnaya-palmyra.com.ua
The vessels are Ferries, performing cruises and regular services. This series of ships were also the basis which was used later in the 80ies to construct the series of 7 Georg Ots-class vessels for the Sowjet Union.

From May 15 ANKARA is sailing 7 night all inclusive cruises out of Cesme to Piraeus, Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, Rhodes & Kos. There are quite a few interior photos on Deniz's website and nice detail on the deck plans.

Israeli Did not attacks the ship. The troops just prevnted the ships from getting inside our teritorial sea. When the Israeli troops boarded the ships in order to arrest it and piloting them to Ashdod, the passengers attacks the troops with knifes and pistols. 6 troops were seriously wounded.

Every other country in the world would do the same. So Israel have nothing to appologize. The sige of Gaza will be countinue as long as Hamas is rulling there. ( a terrorist organization)
