New York - December 18, 2012: New boat rides between Israel's cities of Haifa and Acre are due to launch in March 2013.
The 30-minute boat rides will operate twice daily in each direction between Haifa, Israel's 3rd-largest city and port, and the Mediterranean fortress city of Acre. Haifa, draped around the slopes of Mount Carmel, is home to the Baha'i Shrine and the famed "hanging" Baha'i Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Acre was once the Crusader capital of the Holy Land; its ramparts, bazaars and Underground Crusader City are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The boat rides will offer travelers guided walking tours to popular tourist sites in both cities.
"The new boat rides are a great step forward in the development of tourism to northern Israel," said Haim Gutin, Israel Commissioner for Tourism, North and South America," which will also add some additional excitement to travelers arriving in Israel next year."
A record-breaking 3.5 million travelers will have vacationed in Israel in 2012.
