Batumi Seaport

Historically Batumi Sea Port has always functioned as a logistics center in the Caucasus. It was the first port granting the transit country status to Georgia. The announcement of  Batumi Port as “Porto Franco” in 1878 contributed to its further development. Oil was the most decisive factor of the development. At the beginning of the 20^th century Batumi Port held a leading position along the Black Sea littoral according to its significance and turnover.  It became an international transporting corridor in oil transfer.

Batumi started to become a popular cruise destination in the second half of the 20^th century.  Cruise tourism has recently regained its popularity. Consequently the interest towards Batumi as the Black Sea Cruise destination is steadily increasing resulting in growing number of cruise ships entering our region. At present Batumi Sea port hosts several big cruise ships such as:

„Riviera“

„Amadeus”

 Island Sky,

 "Albatros",

"Silver Wind",

"Minerva",

"Spirit of Advernture",

"Prinsendam".
