Cruises from Poltava

Published: 2 min read

Poltava lies relatively close to Kyiv, and that is exactly what determines the most convenient route to the cruise port of embarkation: first to the capital, then along the standard path used by residents of most central regions. The cruise, as always, does not start in Ukraine but in Barcelona, Venice, Civitavecchia, Genoa, or Piraeus, where MSC, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Costa, or Celestyal liners head. Frequent trains and buses run between Poltava and Kyiv on any day of the week, so the first leg of the journey rarely becomes a problem: picking a flight convenient by time is not hard even a few days before departure. From Kyiv the familiar chain already applies: a ground segment or transfer to Poland, then a flight to the needed European port. The main advantage of this route lies in predictability: Kyiv offers the widest choice of transport connections within the country, so travelers from Poltava do not have to search for rare direct flights or adjust to an inconvenient schedule. Still, the short first leg does not cancel out the overall length of the trip: after arriving in Kyiv there is still the ground segment to the border and the flight, so in total budget at least a day. When planning the trip, keep a small time buffer between arriving in Kyiv and the further departure abroad, especially if traveling during a season with crowded trains. The step by step route with options through Kyiv is collected in the article "How a Ukrainian can get on a cruise: the road to the port."
