Limassol (Cyprus) – Haifa (Israel) ferry

Rosenfeld Shipping Ltd is normally operating subject leg.

Any recent (2012) first hand information about those ferries? Schedules, prices?


Any other operators?

Thanks

Hi naga,

No, there are no ferries from Famagusta to Haifa. There used to be a passenger ferry (no cars, possibly bikes) from Famagusta to Latakia in Syria, but due to the situation there this is most probably not operational any longer.

There are basically three options to reach Israel by ship:

a) Grimaldi Freighter Cruises from Italy
b) Salamis Lines = Rosenfeld Shipping (Tel: +972 - 4 - 8613671 Fax: +972 - 4 - 8537002, Mail: reservations@rosenfeld.net or haifa2@rosenfeld.net [ask for Alicia Rozner])
c) Sisa Shipping from Mersin to Haifa

Greetings,
Achim

Dear Naga,

have a look at the contact page. I am sure, some of those details will be helpful in English, too:
