Covering the period January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, the incentives apply to any cruise ship carrying more than 100 passengers (excluding Turkish nationals).
The Turkish Cruise Tourism Incentive Pack ranges from $25 up to $45 per passenger depending on the season and will be paid to cruise lines via shore excursions agencies.
