ArmInfo. The Armenian ship ‘Armenia’ will take a cruise around the
world on May 28, one of the cruise organizers who wished to remain
unknown told ArmInfo.

‘It is a bad sign by sea customs to reveal all the details of the
cruise which has not yet started. I can only say that we are now in
Spain, and preparation for the cruise has almost be completed. Our
cruise will be around the world, sailing of ‘Armenia’ will be held
on May 28 from one of the Spanish ports’, he said.

To note, a well-known writer-publicist and a public figure Zory Balayan
is one of the active organizers and participants of the upcoming cruise
around the world. Balayan has already participated in the cruise of
"Cilicia" sailing-ship in 2004. The ship under the Armenian flag took
a great cruise on the route of the Cilician merchants for the first
time over 800 years.

The sailors’ clothes and navigation devices were the same the ancient
Cilician merchants had.

Having departed from Poti in 2004, ‘Cilicia’ shaped its course to
Sukhumi and then to Sochi – Burgas- Istanbul- Athens- Beirut – Haifa –
Alexandria – Iraklion – Dubrovnik- Venice – Messian – La-Valetta –
Tunisia- Rome – Genoa- Marseilles- Barcelona – Cartagena – Cadiz –
Lisbon – La Coruna- San Sebastian- La Rochelle – Brest- Cork- Dublin –
