The number of tourists arriving to Israel on cruise liners is growing almost geometrically: in 2012, with more than 350,000 passengers descended on Israeli land, which is twice as high as the figure of two years ago. In addition, the length of stay in the country has also increased over the past period: most cruise ships moor in the ports of Ashdod, Haifa or Eilat for at least one night

Cruise companies increasingly add Israeli cities to tourist routes for obvious reasons , among which are not only the historical, cultural and religious heritage of the country, but also "eastern landscapes" along with deserts. Most often they are included in cruises along the eastern Mediterranean Sea, covering Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Egypt.
