Cruises from Prague
Published: 2 min read
Prague is among the cities where the road to a cruise is simplest: a direct flight from Prague airport, without a ground segment, border, or transit through a neighboring country, all of which are needed for those departing from Ukraine. Prague airport offers regular connections toward the main Mediterranean ports, in particular Barcelona, Civitavecchia near Rome, and Piraeus near Athens, where MSC, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Costa, and Celestyal liners wait for passengers. For Czechs and Ukrainians who have settled in Prague, the cruise trip differs little from that of any resident of Central Europe: check in at the airport, a few hours of flying, the port of embarkation. Choosing a specific flight is worth doing not just by price but also by connection convenience if there is no direct connection on the needed date: sometimes it is more advantageous to fly through another European hub than to wait weeks for a direct flight. This is especially relevant for less popular ports of embarkation, which direct flights from Prague do not serve often. Even with such simple logistics, it is worth checking document requirements for the chosen port in advance and not leaving booking to the last week before the liner sets sail. The overall picture of how this same route looks for those departing directly from Ukraine is collected in the article "How a Ukrainian can get on a cruise: the road to the port."
