200 CEOs Arrive in Marmaris on Luxury Cruise Ship ‘L’Austral’


Marmaris welcomed an exclusive group of high-level business leaders as the luxury cruise ship L’Austral docked at Marmaris Port, bringing with it 200 senior executives—many of them CEOs—from the United States, the United Kingdom, and various European countries.


The 142-metre-long vessel, sailing under the flag of the Wallis and Futuna Islands, arrived from Kuşadası and berthed at the main pier early in the morning. Alongside the high-profile guests, the ship carries a professional crew of 460.

 

After clearing customs, the executives disembarked to attend a specially organized programme in the serene surroundings of Bencik Bay, known for its pine-covered hills and calm, turquoise waters.

 

Following the Marmaris visit, L’Austral is set to continue its voyage towards Istanbul, marking another highlight on its Mediterranean itinerary.

 

Nestled in the heart of Hisarönü Gulf, Bencik Bay is a narrow, fjord-like inlet that cuts into the Datça Peninsula for about 1.5 nautical miles.

All the bay is surrounded by pine-covered slopes that reach down to the shoreline.

 

The large vessel was moored in Netsel Marina and night view is as below:
