European cruise ship docks in Kuwait amid wider Arab tour

The cruise ship ARTANIA MS, carrying around a thousand tourists from across Europe, docked in Kuwait on Monday as part of a tour of the wider Arab region, the country’s ports authority said.

ARTANIA MS’ pit stop in Kuwait is part of efforts to boost local “maritime tourism,” said a Kuwait Ports Authority statement, in line with a national “2035 development vision.” The German-owned ARTANIA MS, en route to a number of Gulf Arab countries, is the first tourist ship to dock in Kuwait since 2012
