Cruise Ship 'Clio' Docks in Klaipėda Amidst Stormy Weather

Despite ongoing stormy weather in Klaipėda, the cruise ship "Clio" docked at the port on Saturday, bringing 80 tourists, mostly from the United States. The 100-meter-long vessel is relatively small compared to other cruise ships that have recently visited the Lithuanian port.

Romena Savickienė, director of the Klaipėda Tourism Information Center, confirmed the arrival, noting that the "Clio" is scheduled to depart at 9 p.m. This visit is the fifth for the "Clio" in Klaipėda this year, with two more scheduled stops on August 28 and September 11.

The "Clio" has a capacity for 89 passengers and is served by a crew of approximately 60 members. The ship features 45 cabins, most of which are exterior and some with balconies. Onboard amenities include two dining areas, two bars, a library, lounge spaces, a sun deck, and a hot tub. Notably, the ship carries nine bicycles for passengers to use during shore excursions.

An interesting feature of the "Clio" is its provision of tenders, which allow access to smaller ports that larger cruise ships cannot reach. Looking ahead, Klaipėda is expecting two more cruise ships next week: the 258-meter-long "Norwegian Sun" on August 26, and the "Clio" again on August 28.
