Great news for travelers exploring Israel’s Mediterranean coast! Mano Shipping is kicking off their 2026 cruise season with an exciting development for visitors to northern Israel.

The cruise ship Crown Iris sets sail tomorrow (Thursday) from Haifa Port for a weekend getaway to Cyprus, officially launching the new cruise season. This marks an excellent opportunity for international visitors already in Israel to extend their trip with a Mediterranean cruise experience.

“Our passengers have been eagerly waiting for the season to open and have once again proven their loyalty to our brand,” says Moran Mano, CEO of Mano Shipping.
