During 2012 Turkish EtsTur sailed with Aegean Paradise and managed to carry 22 000 passangers. Next year (2013) the company is planning to grow its cruise segment with 40 %. This week EtsTur announced that they are going to continue to charter the AEGEAN PARADISE during 2.6.-6.10.2013. AEGEAN PARADISE will be doing 3/4-night cruises to the Greek islands from Izmir.
Apart from AEGEAN PARADISE EtsTur is also going to charter additional ship for the summer season. During 29.7.2013-1.9.2013 EtsTur will be sailing out from Istanbul with 6/7 night cruises to the Greek islands. For this purpose Voyages to Antiquity will charter its AEGEAN ODYSSEY for one month to be used for the Turkish markets.
Some rumours have been telling that VENUS would be sold to Turkish investors and would also be sailing from Turkey next year. Bamtur had some difficulties this year and it might be they are not coming back to the cruise markets next year. ApexTour instead might very well be potential charterer of the VENUS next year.
ApexTour were apparently doing very well with Ocean Majesty.

If people get their money back is still a very big open question...
