All aboard the Halas 71 luxury coastal cruiser that has entertained VIP guests including members of the British Royal Family and former US Presidents. The vessel’s history dates back to the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the founding of the Turkish Republic. She was seized by the British and finally returned to Turkish waters at the end of WWI but utilized by the British as Allied Headquarters. The British returned control back to Turkey in 1923 where it was renamed Halas, which means deliverance. It was a passenger ferry for decades until it was renovated in the 80s as a luxury cruiser with cabins and again remodeled in 2008 with a total of 12 guest cabins.
